  • "In the final instalment of the Richard Hannay series, the popular secret-agent goes on his most dangerous mission yet. Now retired and in his fifties, Hannay is bound by an oath to protect the son of an acquaintance who is about to inherit the secret to a priceless treasure. Unfortunately keeping the young man, and his secret, safe proves difficult as a number unscrupulous individuals all want in on the treasure, including some former adversaries of Hannay's. This time Hannay is joined by his own son, Peter John, and some old allies in this final, exciting adventure that ends Buchan's popular series on a high note."@en
  • "The Island of Sheep (1936) is John Buchan's last thriller, featuring the return of Richard Hannay, the hero of 'The Thirty-Nine Steps', 'Greenmantle', 'Mr Standfast 'and 'The Three Hostages', from a comfortable retirement. Hannay redeems his promise to protect the son of an old acquaintance from a sinister conspiracy, and the action moves rapidly from England through the Scottish Borders to the Island of Sheep in the remote Norlands, where Hannay and his friends turn at last to confront their enemy."@en
  • "A long-forgotten promise made by Richard Hannay finds him honour-bound to resolve a violent vendetta in which the lives of a young father and his daughter are in danger from desperate men. Hannay sets out on a high-octane chase from the rural tranquillity of his English manor to the Scottish Borders and, ultimately, to Scandinavia."@en
