"Here, without a doubt, is Nevil Shute's most enthralling and controversial novel since No Highway.  With the prophetic touch for which he is famous, Shute describes the feelings, the emotions, the quiet heroism of ordinary people who have come face to face with extraordinary and tremendous events.  On The Beach deals with a situation which closely touches every man, woman and child in the world today.  It is a novel which will be read and talked about everywhere."
