The Thirty-One Kings

'Riveting. Daring measures and hairbreadth escapes are the rule in this first-person chronicle. The can-do spirit of Mr. Harris’s book evokes a time when it seemed the fate of the world might hinge on the acts of a handful of brave souls. The Thirty-One Kings is old-fashioned in many ways—which is what makes it such a reassuring pleasure to read'

* Wall Street Journal *

'Fans of John Buchan will be wooed by this new adventure . . . Harris's new Second World War story picks up the threads of Buchan's last novel, Sick Heart River, and cleverly weaves them into this thrilling tale'

* Sunday Post *

'This fast-moving tale will delight Buchan fans. … Gripping and fun; it will encourage devotees to return to Buchan and newcomers to seek him out'

* Country Life *

'This is very good fun. The plot whips along, embellished by dogfights, perilous car journeys, personal vendettas and plenty of derring-do – plus a whiff of enjoyable parody to lend an edge. I was beguiled'

-- Elizabeth Buchan * Daily Mail *

'This is a loving tribute to Buchan, then, and thoroughly good fun'

-- Allan Massie * The Scotsm
