Mr. Standfast
by John Buchan
“In a world at war, the most dangerous battlefield is the one you can't see.”
General Richard Hannay is pulled from the front lines of WWI for a high-stakes undercover mission spanning the rugged Scottish Highlands to the treacherous peaks of the Swiss Alps. To dismantle a lethal German spy ring, he must navigate a web of deception where one wrong move could change the course of history. This classic espionage thriller masterfully blends pulse-pounding action with the grit of the Western Front.
