John Buchan was one of the world's first [[SpyLiterature spy novelists]], and did a similar job for the genre as Creator/JRRTolkien did for fantasy. ''The Thirty-Nine Steps'' is his most famous work, published in 1915 and set during the run-up to UsefulNotes/WorldWarI. It was a huge popular success and owed much to its 1903 predecessor, Erskine Childers' ''The Riddle of the Sands'', and the adventure stories of Creator/HRiderHaggard. Buchan began his writing career as a journalist, but enlisted at the start of World War I, working away from the front lines producing propaganda for the War Office. His experiences of the war, interwoven with a strong sense of national pride, a love of Africa and a belief in the strength of the British character, are themes in many of his novels.

[[spoiler:And the room they lock him in just happens to have explosives in the cupboard. And of course Hannay just happens to be a mining engineer who knows just how to use them safely.]]
