RICHARD HUGHES
A High 'Wind in Jamaica

Douglas West in the T)aily Mail
"Here is the old simplicity, surprise, outrageous humour. But the most outrageous quality of In Hazard is not its humour but its daring—to take the same subject as Conrad in Typhoon it would be foolhardy if it were not triumphantly justified. Everything has the exactitude of a natural history, the excitement of a survivor's report, and the unexpectedness of a fable."
Graham Greene in the Spectator
"An achievement that holds you dazzlingly in its spell ^
In Hazard remains a superb tour de force of descriptive ^ i'
writing, and I do not know of any other author than Richard Hughes who could have done it with such a fusing of scientific and emotional truth."
Howard Spring in the Evening Standard
