Beyond the Black Stump by Nevil Shute
4.0

I enjoy Nevil Shute's stories. He does tell a good tale, well constructed characters and good powers of description. This was written in 1956 and some language and attitudes are of that time, would not be used today. But he also writes of values, contemplating what matters, in a way that is insightful and contemporary.
