Greenmantle by John Buchan CHAPTER ONE A Mission is Proposed I had just finished breakfast and was filling my pipe when I got Bullivant's telegram. It was at Furling, the big country house in Hampshire where I had come to convalesce after Loos, and Sandy, who was in the same case, was hunting for the marmalade. I flung him the flimsy with the blue strip pasted down on it, and he whistled. 'Hullo, Dick, you've got the battalion. Or maybe it's a staff billet. You'll be a blighted brass-hat, coming it heavy over the hard-working regimental officer. And to think of the language you've wasted on brass-hats in your time!' I sat and thought for a bit, for the name 'Bullivant' carried me back eighteen months to the hot summer before the war. I had not seen the man since, though I had read about him |

Reviewer: FNH - 5/10/2008 21:18Subject: Free Audio, Review Up front I have to admit to being a "Hannay" fan. I loved "The 39 Steps" in both film and audio versions. I even lapped up the BBC "Hannay" television series, sadly short lived. So when I spotted Greenmantle on Librivox I downloaded it immediately. I was not disapointed. The story is action packed, the advetures of the herioc and honourable Hannay are engaging, if not downright enthralling. The phrasing and terminology in the text is extreemly evocative of the period and sets the perfect tone to what is now a "period" story. From the very beginning you know your into a great spy thriller and if thats your thing, you'll enjoy this story. Reading = 2/3 Production = 2/3 Story = 3/3 Total = 7/9 Read all of my reviews over at http://freeaudioreview.blogspot.com |
