John   says:   “ The   title   has   no   connection   with   John   Buchan’s   novel   of   the   same   name.   It   doesn’t   have   any   more   of a connection with the fine beer brewed by Broughton Brewery. Broughton is the birthplace of John Buchan. ” The novel, according to Kevin Sampson in The Independent is … “A   Book   of   a   Lifetime   -   A   ripping   yarn   by   any   standards,   Greenmantle   is   set   across   two   action-packed   months during   the   First   World   War.   At   the   outset,   the   suave   soldier-spy   Richard   Hannay   –   a   kind   of   Edwardian   James Bond   figure   -   is   convalescing   after   a   typically   heroic   stint   on   the   Western   Front.   Hannay   and   his   admirable sidekick   Sandy   Arbuthnot   are   summoned   by   the   Foreign   Office's   senior   intelligence   commander,   Sir   Walter Bullivant.   Bullivant   briefs   Hannay   that   Turkish   seditionaries   are   planning   to   whip   up   discontent   among   Muslim nations   across   Asia   Minor   and   into   North   Africa.   An   Islamic   uprising   will   create   a   major   headache   for   Britain, and   a   diversion   the   Turks'   German   allies   can   exploit.   Our   dapper   hero   has   only   weeks   to   foil   this   dastardly   plot. What   ensues   is   a   wholly   absurd   and   phenomenally   enjoyable   romp   across   half   the   world   as   Hannay,   Sandy   and Pienaar   (a   maverick   Boer   guerilla)   split   up   and   use   their   ingenuity   to   get   behind   enemy   lines   and   defy   the Young Turks' rebellion. As   a   convalescing   11-year-old,   Greenmantle   is   the   first   book   I   read   with   both   an   atlas   and   an   encyclopedia   to hand,   as   Hannay   gives   a   succession   of   shady   ne'erdowells   the   slip   on   foot,   by   sea,   on   a   wild   mustang   –   even   by barge.   It's   a   special   sort   of   book   that   can   fire   your   imagination   and   transport   you   to   worlds   you've   never   known, but Greenmantle continues to take me on a trip, every time I read it.” Though don’t forget, John says this dance has nothing to do with all that!
