"Another great Shute adventure story - a famous WW I pilot is dying. In the attempts to save him, we learn the heartwarming story of his adventurous life, with a little supernatural flavor thrown in."

"I can remember reading this book for the first time when I was 15. What most amazed me about Nevil Shute's writing is that I could get so absorbed, so lost in it, that finishing a long section was like waking from a dream. In this book he layers in flashbacks and dreams in such a compelling way it can be hard to remember that you are not part of the story.
I have re-read this book once or twice and have to say that nothing is lost by already knowing the outcome. For so many books the payoff is the end resolution or realization, but with Shute the journey of the characters and the way he develops them is the reward."
