As usual, Nevil inter-weaves a succession of loosely associated events, gets the hero into an almost impossible situation and extricates him in an unexpected, and possibly unlikely way.
Nevertheless a good read

Title very appropriate
Excellent read, no theatrics. A very believable tale, well told and enjoyable.

What the Critics have Missed
It seems to be thought that Nevil Shute is not a great writer because he wrote about ordinary people, and did not attempt to glamorize them. It is precisely because of that, and the fact that his genius was the ability to make "ordinary" people interesting, that he was a great writer, as this book shows.
