Greenmantle by John Buchan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After sustaining an injury at the Battle of Loos (1915) Major Richard Hannay is given a mission to investigate the rumours that are circulating in Europe of an uprising in the Muslim area. He is aided in the task by John Blenkiron, Sandy (aka Ludovick Gustavus Arbuthnot) and Peter Pienaar. All the information they have are three words - Kasredin, cancer and v.I.
An enjoyable thriller, originally written in 1916
