"On the cover of this book is the statement: "Over 14 million Nevil Shute books sold." Shute became hugely popular. However this story is only the second one of his to be published, first in 1928, and a number of times subsequently, and it's a great spy story/character study/romance, but clearly less mature than his later work."
"Liked it more than "Requiem for a Wren". Actually it reminded me a little bit of the end of "Lord of the Rings" in its' under-appreciated hero theme."
"Set in England of 1927, the story concerns 2 WWI aviators, Peter Moran and Maurice Lendon, who meet up by chance one dark and stormy night. Moran is an estate agent, living a pretty quiet and ordered life; unable to succeed at anything else since the war, Lendon is involved in somewhat questionable work flying for the Soviets. The story deals with the conflict of loyalty to friends vs. your country, and the tragedy caused by uncertain or apathetic morals."
