Hammond Innes

Ralph Hammond Innes CBE (15 July 1913 – 10 June 1998) was a British novelist who wrote over thirty novels, as well as works for children and travel books. Quotes Science is for the laboratory. Other men, who stand alone and face the elemental forces of nature, know that science as a shining, world-conquering hero, is a myth. Science lives in concrete structures full of bright factory toys, insulated from the earth's great forces. The priesthood of this new cult are seldom called upon to stand and face the onslaught.
