NEVIL SHUTE'S MAGNIFICENT AND MOVING BESTSELLER
ON THE BEACH
"What a terrific Shute this is against the supreme folly of our times.
As a piece of writing it is terrific. As a world warning it is more
terrifying than anything yet put into print .. It compels staying until
the dreadful finish."
-Brig. General S.L.A. Marshall
ON THE BEACH is Nevil Shute's
phenomenal bestseller about a small community of people the last
community left on earth waiting for the atomic rain that would wash
away all traces of their existence .. One of the century's greatest
tales. "Philip Wylie"
... The most shocking fiction I have read in years. What is shocking about it is both the
idea and the sheer imaginative brilliance with which Mr. Shute brings it off. "San Francisco Chronicle."
