By Nevil Shute (read by Laurence Kennedy)
An early Nevil Shute
Set between the World Wars, Commander Stevenson's quiet and lonely existence falls apart when he meets a a girl from a dance hall and then gets involved in foiling a bit of political intrigue that her brother is involved in. It is not a long story, but it is gripping.
Neville Shute is a superb story teller -- you will hear me say it over and over again. His characters are simple yet delightfully deep and complex people. They are people most readers can identify with.
