Order of Hammond Innes Books

Hammond Innes is the pseudonym of English novelist Ralph Hammond Innes (1913-1998), known for his mystery and thriller novels, children's literature, and travel non-fiction. He was recognized for his meticulous attention to detail in scene descriptions. Innes crafted his protagonists as ordinary men who find themselves in unexpected situations rather than conventional "heroes." In hostile environments, these characters rely on their ingenuity to navigate challenges, rather than using weapons or gadgets. Innes published his first novel, Air Disaster, in 1937 and continued to write until his last novel, The Delta Connection, in 1996. Below is a list of Hammond Innes' works in the order of their original publication.
