The Island of Sheep - Authorised Edition (Paperback, Authorised Edition)

A long-forgotten promise made by Richard Hannay finds him honor-bound to resolve a violent vendetta in which the lives of a young father and his daughter are in danger from unscrupulous and desperate men. Hannay sets out on a high-octane chase from the rural tranquility of his English manor to the Scottish Borders and, ultimately, to Scandinavia. On the remote Island of Sheep, a final confrontation takes place and everything is decided--once and for all. This, the last of the Hannay adventures--and the last of Buchan's novels to be published during his lifetime--is a rare gem of high drama interwoven with Buchan's personal beliefs about the problems of a post-war world.
