Round the Bend
by Nevil Shute
When Tom Cutter hires Konstantin Shacklin as an engineer in the air travel business, he knows little about the extraordinary gifts of his new hiring. Shacklin has a religious power that inspires everyone he meets to have a new faith and hope in humanity. As Cutter's business grew in Asia, Shacklin's fame continued until he was considered a unifying god. Although he may have a hard time believing that Shacklin is truly divine, the friendship will change Cutter's life.
