The strong and silent type, combining the dour temperament of the Scot with the stiff upper lip of the Englishman, Hannay is pre-eminent among early spy-thriller heroes. Caught up in the first of these five gripping adventures just before the outbreak of war in 1914, he manages to thwart the enemy's evil plan and solve the mystery of the 'thirty-nine steps'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGreenmantle\u003c\/em\u003e, he undertakes a vital mission to prevent jihad in the Islamic Near East. \u003cem\u003eMr Standfast\u003c\/em\u003e, set in the decisive months of 1917-18, is the novel in which Hannay, after a life lived 'wholly among men', finally falls in love; later, in \u003cem\u003eThe Three Hostages\u003c\/em\u003e, he finds himself unravelling a kidnapping mystery with his wife's help.
