Theodore Honey is a shy, inconspicuous aircraft engineer whose eccentric interests in quantum mechanics and spiritualism are frowned upon in aviation circles. But when a passenger plane crashes in unexplained circumstances, Honey must convince his superiors that his unorthodox theories are correct before more lives are lost.But while flying to the crash scene to investigate, Honey discovers to his horror that he is on board one of the defective planes and that he and his fellow passengers, including a friendly young stewardess and an aging movie actress, are in imminent peril.The title, No Highway, is taken from the poem "The Wanderer" by John Masefield, which Shute quotes at the start of the book:"Therefore, go forth, companion: when you findNo Highway more, no track, all being blind,The way to go shall glimmer in the mind."
