Description

Travel through Nevil Shute’s fiction in a collection of twenty-three source titles, including A Town Like Alice, On the Beach, No Highway, The Chequer Board, The Far Country and Trustee from the Toolroom. Aviation, engineering, war, migration, work and personal responsibility recur across stories set in Britain, Australia and beyond. The combined Stephen Morris & Pilotage volume contains both connected early narratives, while Vinland the Good adds a different form of historical storytelling. Alternate catalogue editions of A Town Like Alice and The Legacy are represented by one selected text, and alternate titles are recorded in the contents information. This Sanctus Books reading edition includes numbered openings, a linked collection contents page and EPUB navigation, with reflowable text and centered ornamental title and chapter headings. Included works: 1. Marazan 2. So Disdained [The Mysterious Aviator] 3. Lonely Road 4. Ruined City [Kindling] 5. Ordeal [What Happened to the Corbetts] 6. An Old Captivity 7. Landfall 8. Pied Piper 9.

Stephen Morris & Pilotage 24 catalogue records consolidated into 23 source titles; The Legacy and A Town Like Alice are alternate editions of the same novel. Stephen Morris & Pilotage is one numbered source title containing two narratives, so the source-title count differs from a count of individual narratives. No Complete Works claim.
