''Salute to Adventurers'' is a classic adventure novel by John Buchan. The story follows Francis Crawford, a Scottish gentleman who is forced to flee his homeland after being falsely accused of a crime. He embarks on a journey across Europe and the Middle East, encountering danger and intrigue at every turn. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful spy, a cunning thief, and a powerful sheikh. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of international politics and espionage, Francis must rely on his wits and his courage to survive. With its thrilling action, vivid descriptions, and unforgettable characters, ''Salute to Adventurers'' is a must-read for fans of adventure fiction.My arm was too short to make a fighter of me, and I could only strive to close, that I might get the use of my weight and my great strength of neck and shoulder. Ringan danced round me, tapping me lightly on nose and cheek, but hard enough to make the blood flow, I defended myself as best I could, while my temper rose rapidly and made me forget my penitence. Time and again I looked for a chance to slip in, but he was as wary as a fox, and was a yard off before I could get my arm round him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
