Extractions: A Trio Of Nevil Shute MARAZAN by Nevil Shute 'It began in June. I was one of the pilots of the Rawdon Air Taxi Service then; as everyone knows, a civilian pilot, like a dramatic critic, is merely a young man who is too lazy to work for a living...' So opens this absorbing adventure novel. It was written by Nevil Shute in 1926, when he himself was one of the young men of the air, working at Crayford, in Kent, designing and testing the new aircraft of the time. But MARAZAN is not only about those exciting early days of passenger aviation. It tells a story of small ships and high stakes, of a family broken in two by crime - a story that will fascinate Shute addicts, as well as captivating any readers who have not yet fallen under his spell. MARAZAN - Nevil Shute's first book - equals in excitement the great best-sellers of his later years.

Extractions: Nevil Shute writes mainly about post-war England and Australia. His books give me a strange feeling of quiet. When I read them, I seem to be listening to a story told on some evening, and told in a straightforward manner. The stories may be about violent events, but they are told as in a dialogue between two people who know each other well and trust each other. Thus, they do not try to increase the effect by inserting various exclamations and superlatives. They give a strong impression of "I was there". I haven't read all the books listed in the bibliography below, so I would very much appreciate additions, corrections and suggestions. Please send them to me at jenny-h@algonet.se A Town Like Alice

Extractions: Nevil Shute Norway was born 17th January 1899 at Ealing, London, the youngest of two brothers and the son of a senior civil servant in the General Post Office. At an early stage it was obvious that his interests lay not in things academic as did his brother's but in things practical, having been caught playing truant from school only to spend his time studying the mechanical exhibits and early flying machines in the Science Museum in South Kensington. The family moved from London to Dublin in 1912 when his father was appointed Secretary to the Post Office in Ireland. Nevil Shute had attended various schools in England including Shrewsbury and it was whilst on holiday from there that he was in Dublin during the Easter uprising in 1916, and acted as a stretcher bearer. In June, 1915, his older brother Fred had died of wounds in Flanders during WW1. He was quite philosophic about his future at this stage having seen his numerous seniors at school killed in the fighting in Flanders as well as his brother. His stammer, from which he was to suffer to some extent throughout his life, probably saved him from this fate as it prevented his earlier attempts to obtain a commision in the army and then the new Royal Air Force. After enlisting in the ranks of the Suffolk Regiment he was posted to the Isle of Grain in the Thames Estuary for the last three months of the war. After the war he was demobilised and secured a place at Balliol, Oxford, where he studied Engineering, graduating in the summer of 1922. During the vacations he became acquainted with boats by acting as crew on a sailing cruiser and had already started his connection with the aircraft industry, working unpaid at De Havillands and it was Geoffrey de Havilland himself who gave Nevil Shute his first experience of flying.

You can ignore these all you like, but honestly, if you fancy yourself a book reader period, and if you have ever read any book of fiction that you liked, then you'll like this one. Like all of Nevil Shute's books, it was written before he died (in 1960) and even though they were well-thought-of then, we're lucky they're even in print still. Book stores rarely stock them, and that's even true of Amazon. They're published in England by a small press specializing in way better-than-average books that they think ought to remain in print. If you read this and don't like it, return for a double-your-money back refund (in credit). It's a wonderful story about a guy who.... BOOK Trustee From The Tool Room

http://www.nnbtv.dircon.co.uk/Books/2002/Beach.html

Extractions: "On the Beach" is probably one of the most depressing, poorly written and least convincing books that I've read in a long time. Not that it's a bad book, you understand, just not a very good one. Let me explain why... The premise of "On the Beach" is very simple. It is set in Australia in the mid- to late-50s, two years after a nuclear war. No-one knows quite what happened or why, but as far as the characters (and the novel) are concerned, that's fairly irrelevant. The fact is, life in the northern hemisphere has been destroyed and the southern hemisphere is going that way too. Radioactive dust is being blown south by the wind and it is only a matter of time before it covers the entire globe. The novel opens in Melbourne, Australia, about eight months before the radiocative dust is due to arrive. The main characters are the Captain of an American nuclear submarine, Dwight Towers, and his Australian Liaison Officer, Peter Holmes. Playing opposite these two are Holmes' wife, Mary, and a family friend, Moira Davidson. The basic theme of the novel is how people face up to the prediction of certain death and, in this case, the death of all mankind. It's an interesting theme, but poorly tackled and only redeemed in part by the consistency shown throughout and in particular by the excellent ending.
