Pace plot and public spirit in 2026
John Buchan proves that speed can be intelligent. Ordinary people meet large plots and act with duty rather than pose. Landscape and law matter as much as chase. Read him to enjoy movement that respects readers and to remember why adventure once trained citizens.
