Reviews"The most haunting evocation we have of a world dying of radiation after an atomic war." -The New York Times "The most shocking fiction I have read in years. What is shocking about it is both the idea and the sheer imaginative brilliance with which Mr. Shute brings it off." -San Francisco Chronicle "A novelist of intelligent and engaging quality, deservedly popular. . . . Nevil Shute was, in brief, the sort of novelist who genuinely touches the imagination and feeling." -The Times(London) From the Trade Paperback edition.
