Description
No Highway and Trustee From the Toolroom (two book set)
Author: Neville Shute
Hardcover, textured and embossed. Very good condition.
No Highway and Trustee from the Toolroom by Nevil Shute are two of the author’s most enduring novels, each blending technical realism with deep human insight. No Highway (1948) tells the story of an eccentric aeronautical engineer who predicts the structural failure of a new aircraft design, raising questions of science, intuition, and moral responsibility as his warnings are dismissed until tragedy looms. Trustee from the Toolroom (1960), Shute’s final novel, follows the humble model-engineer Keith Stewart, whose quiet life is transformed when he undertakes an extraordinary journey across the world to recover a lost inheritance for his orphaned niece—demonstrating courage, integrity, and the quiet heroism of ordinary men. Together, the books exemplify Shute’s fascination with engineering, ethics, and the understated strength of individuals guided by conscience and decency.
