Recensioner i media

"Any book by Nevil Shute is a delight" Punch "That shattering, unaffected, literary style of his is masterly" -- H.E. Bates "There is a quality of golden light that hangs over his books. That comes, I think, from his sense of order and from his own vast, undemonstrative solicitude" -- John Ezard Guardian
