Summary: Don't Pass This One By!
Review: Not many people read John Buchan's works, but they are without a doubt worth reading. This book is one of his best. He has taken character's from his Richard Hannay series, and in one smooth, skillful chapter he throws them into a different world. While his other books deal mostly with the spy games of WW1 era, in The Courts of the Morning three of his best characters (Sandy Arbuthnot, John S. Blenkiron, and Archie Roylance) are transported to a small South American country to try to bring down a man who is almost insanely bent on world conquest. To accomplish this process, they organize the cleanest revolutionary guerilla war ever concieved, and with a mixture of brilliant spy techniques and unexpected mercy they win a victory better than anything the recent war turned out...
