'It began in June. I was one of the pilots of the Rawdon Air Taxi Service then; as everyone knows, a civilian pilot, like a dramatic critic, is merely a young man who is too lazy to work for a living...'

So opens this absorbing adventure novel. It was written by Nevil Shute in 1926, when he himself was one of the young men of the air, working at Crayford, in Kent, designing and testing the new aircraft of the time.

But MARAZAN is not only about those exciting early days of passenger aviation. It tells a story of small ships and high stakes, of a family broken in two by crime - a story that will fascinate Shute addicts, as well as captivating any readers who have not yet fallen under his spell.

MARAZAN - Nevil Shute's first book - equals in excitement the great best-sellers of his later years.
