""Brigadier-General Hannay is recalled from active service on the Western Front to undertake a secret mission. Hannay is to hunt down a German agent in Britain. Hannay goes undercover as a pacifist to ferret out the agents"--Provided by publisher."@en
"Reluctantly posing as a pacifist, Richard Hannay infiltrates an anti-war league to capture an unimpeachable German spy. Mr. Standfast, the second in the series of five novels following Hannay's exploits, picks up after Hannay has returned home from the Somme and is working for the War Office under an assumed name. A brigadier still under forty, he is taken out of the military for a second round in the spy game. The only instructions he's given: take up his old identity as a mining engineer from South Africa, and pose as a staunch pacifist. As Hannay himself put it: "to go into Germany as an anti-British Afrikaner was a stoutish adventure, but to lounge about at home talking rot was a very different-sized job.""@en

""A novel following the exploits of Richard Hannay in World War I" --Provided by publisher."@en
"In the last of his World War I adventures, Richard Hannay undertakes his most dangerous assignment yet When England calls, Richard Hannay answers. Not yet forty and already a brigadier general, he has led the charge into some of the fiercest fighting of World War I: Loos, the Somme, Arras. There is no telling how far up the ranks he might climb if only the Foreign Office would stop taking him off the front lines for cloak and dagger work. Adding insult to injury, Hannay’s latest clandestine mission requires him to commit the most shameful of sins in a country under siege: pacifism. In the idyllic Cotswolds, a circle of conscientious objectors has been infiltrated by a masterful German spy. To unmask the enemy, Hannay must disavow everything he holds dear. Fortunately, his old American friend John Blenkiron is also on the case, as is Mary Lamington, a brave and beautiful girl with the rare ability to turn Hannay from thoughts of war. First things first, though—before love comes duty, and the trail of treachery runs all the way from the south of England, to a pink chalet high in the Swiss mountains, to Parisian streets echoing with the roar of German guns. Published just a few months after the Allied victory, Mr. Standfast is an homage to the courage and fortitude of every patriot in His Majesty’s service. It is also one of the most thrilling and unforgettable spy novels ever written. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices."@en
