A little about the story
Richard Hannay returns to intelligence work in a wartime story that mixes undercover assignments with the demands of military service.
Hannay's wartime assignments force him to rely on cover stories and relationships whose value he cannot judge at a glance. The novel has room for setbacks, travel and reflection alongside the urgency of the intelligence work.

You’ll enjoy it if you like

Read after The Thirty-Nine Steps or Greenmantle for continuity. It has more room for wartime reflection than Hannay's first chase.
