In John Buchan's thrilling sequel to *The Thirty-nine Steps*, Richard Hannay is recuperating from the Battle of Loos when he is summoned by Sir Walter Bullivant of the Foreign Office. Bullivant reveals a mysterious threat: a 'dry wind' is blowing through the East, and a secret, possibly a holy man or a sacred object, is about to ignite a Holy War that could sweep through the Ottoman Empire and beyond, threatening India. Armed with only a cryptic clue—the words 'Kasredin,' 'cancer,' and 'v. I.'—Hannay embarks on a perilous mission into enemy territory. Joined by the resourceful American John S. Blenkiron and the enigmatic Sandy Arbuthnot, he must uncover the truth behind the coming storm before it's too late.
