"Fire Down Below" by William Golding - Faber & Faber, London - 1989 first UK edition first printing - signed by author Golding on title page - 18cmx15cm - condition: very good copy in very good dust jacket in mylar cover

Fire Down Below (1989) closed the trilogy with a description of the ever-more perilous voyage (given the old ship and old charts); of Talbot's maturing and his growing admiration for the Prettimans, a married couple; of the rivalry between the two principal officers, Summers and Benét, for Captain Anderson's respect and trust; and of the conclusion to Edmund's affaire de coeur with Miss Chumley. Much detail is given to the increasingly frantic measures to repair the ship and reach Australia.
