"Greenmantle" follows the adventures of Richard Hannay, a British soldier during World War I. The story begins with Hannay’s pursuit of a secret that could change the course of the war: a mysterious figure known as Greenmantle, who is believed to be stirring a holy war in the Islamic world. Alongside his companions, Hannay embarks on a dangerous mission across the trenches of Europe and into the heart of the Ottoman Empire. As they navigate treachery and diverse cultures, Hannay's courage and ingenuity are put to the test in a race against time to thwart a potentially catastrophic uprising.
