Theodore Honey 是一位腼腆、不起眼的工程师，其古怪的兴趣在航空界不被看好。当一架客机在纽芬兰因不明原因坠毁后，Honey 决心在更多生命消逝之前，向上级证实自己关于事故原因的非正统理论。然而在乘机飞往坠机现场调查途中，Honey 惊恐地发现自己正坐在一架存在缺陷的飞机上，他与同机乘客——包括一名友善的年轻空姐和一位年迈的电影女演员——正面临迫在眉睫的危险。

Nevil Shute 曾是一名工程师，他写过好几部备受好评的小说，比如核战题材的《On the Beach》（曾两次被拍成电影）、《A Town like Alice》（改编成了电影和电视剧），以及《No Highway》（有时也根据同名电影译作《No Highway in the Sky》），这本其实探讨的是航空工程以及设计早期喷气式客机所涉及的各种难题。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevil_Shute
Nevil Shute was an engineer and he wrote some well respected novels like the nuclear war story On the Beach (made into a movie twice), A Town like Alice (made into a film and TV series), and No Highway (sometimes called No Highway in the Sky after the title of the film based on it), which actually deals with aircraft engineering and the problems involved in designing early jet airliners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevil_Shute
…当下的连载虚构小说。如果你想在小说里找探讨科学家或工程师必须做出道德抉择的例子，你得去翻 C.P. Snow 的《The Search》（1959）或者 Neville Shute 的《No Highway》（1948），而我现在随便看一眼书架，满眼都是《华尔街之狼》在那儿直勾勾地盯着我……
…ongoing current fiction. If you want to look to fiction for instances of people saying scientists or engineers have to make moral decisions, you're going to C.P. Snow "the search" (1959) or Neville Shute "No Highway" (1948) while I can look down any bookshelf and find 'wolf of wall street' staring me in the eyes..
