Nevil Shute

Read this classic uplifting, moving and heartwarming story about life in the face of the cold war. Theodore Honey is a shy, inconspicuous aircraft engineer whose eccentric interests in quantum mechanics and spiritualism are frowned upon in aviation circles. But when a passenger plane crashes in unexplained circumstances, Honey must convince his superiors that his unorthodox theories are correct before more lives are lost.

Nevil Shute can sure write a nice book. Rhe first part was really engrossing. The story does taper off a bit in the last half, but it's still enjoyable.

The story's a little old-fashioned, with a certain amount of talk about how a woman's life is more complete when she's a wife and/or mother. Ignore that, and remember the book is a product of its time. Notice how much GOODNESS there is among the characters of the book. Doing the right thing is really important for a couple of the characters, and their attitude impacts others' attitudes too. It's a character study, and a very touching one at that.

A good story. I liked it a lot.
