An American submarine captain is among the survivors left sheltering in Australia, preparing with the locals for the inevitable.

Then a faint Morse code signal is picked up, transmitting from the United States and the submarine must set sail through the bleak ocean to search for signs of life.On the Beach is Nevil Shute's most powerful novel. Both gripping and intensely moving, its impact is unforgettable.
