Order of Nevil Shute Books
Nevil Shute Norway (1899-1960) was an English-Australian novelist as well as an aeronautical engineer. He dropped the “Norway” from his pen name in order to protect his engineering career. His novels are not divided into series, but rather three categories – Pre-War (mostly pre-1940), War (1938-1947) and Australia (1948-1960). As he was an aeronautical engineer, aviation plays a big part in his novels.
Nevil Shute became a published author in 1926 with Marazan. Below is a list of Nevil Shute’s books in order of when they were originally published:
