John Buchan chronicles the adventures of Anthony Lammas, a mild-mannered Scottish professor who finds himself drawn into a conspiracy of the highest stakes, aided by a brotherhood of rugged fisherfolk whose courage and cunning prove as sharp as any gentleman's sword. The narrative races from the craggy shores of the Firth of Forth to the shadowy corridors of Regency England, weaving a plot rich with Napoleonic-era tension and romantic adventure.\n\nBuchan, celebrated as the father of the modern thriller, brings to The Free Fishers the same masterful command of pace and atmosphere that defined classics such as The Thirty-Nine Steps. His prose is at once vigorous and elegantly observed, capturing the dialect and spirit of the Scottish people with an authenticity born of deep affection for his homeland. Beneath the surface adventure lies a meditation on class, honour, and the unlikely alliances that define true heroism — a question that lingers long after the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130982080731,"sku":"2026200012670-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b1ad1c52-d7ee-4762-a744-47b301e68159.png?v=1786593590","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012670-secondhand-the-free-fishers","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
