About this audiobook
'I am an ordinary sort of fellow, but I have had some damned extraordinary experiences.'
First published in 1915,
The Thirty-Nine Steps is a fast-paced adventure narrative that was lauded by contemporary critics and readers alike. It has since been adapted several times across film, TV and radio.
When ordinary man Richard Hannay stumbles onto a deadly spy plot in pre-World War I London, his life is turned upside down overnight. Framed for murder and pursued by both the police and ruthless foreign agents, Hannay goes on the run, fleeing to the Scottish Highlands. There, he must rely on his courage, quick thinking and sheer luck to evade capture and solve the mystery of 'The Thirty-Nine Steps' – a cryptic clue that holds the key to a potential plot that threatens to shatter Britain's national security. A master of suspense, John Buchan writes a tale that is packed with twists, turns and narrow escapes, cementing
The Thirty-Nine Steps as a classic in the thriller genre. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Roger May.
John Buchan (1875 – 1940) was a Scottish writer, historian, army officer and politician who served as Governor General of Canada. He is best known for his adventure novel,
The Thirty-Nine Steps, which helped shape the modern spy thriller genre.
