Publisher Description
Download this classic dime store novel by John Buchan that has stood the test of time!
The 39 Steps is an entertaining spy thriller that has inspired a stage play and an Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name. John Buchan was huge fan of the "pulp fiction" style and his "shockers," as he called them - are still considered one of the best examples of the genre.
Follow Richard Hannay as he finds himself a target for death. When his neighbor asks him for help he is tossed into a deadly race and government conspiracy. This well rated story (4.5 stars on iTunes) is praised as a great chase novel. Take this whirlwind tour of Europe with Mr. Hannay as he runs for his life.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A full cast delivers a gripping performance of John Buchan's classic tale of espionage and intrigue. When Richard Hannay discovers a dead body in his apartment, he's dragged into a dark and dangerous world of global politics, secret societies, and undercover agents. Accused of murder and with the fate of the British fleet resting in his hands, Hannay must elude the police and foreign spies, decode a cryptic notebook, and convince the enigmatic Sir Walter Bullivant to believe his incredible tale. David Robb dazzles as Hannay, delivering a gritty, nuanced performance of a man living a nightmare, and with the addition of dramatic music and a host of pitch-perfect sound effects, this audiobook is highly enjoyable and highly recommended.
