Synopsis: "Mr. Fenner Brockway wanted to write a novel about a revolution ... the process of establishing a fairer distribution of work and wealth[.] ... he began by reducing the scale. He staged his revolution on an Atlantic liner.
... in devising a situation which would isolate his ship for ten years and yet supply it with the necessities and even the luxuries of life he grafted on to his revolutionary theme most of the apparatus of a scientific thriller."
(The purple plague takes ten years from infection to deadly symptoms.)
"... full of ideas, and its outline of a temporary utopia is for once neither unconvincing nor dull."
--review by D.F.A., The Manchester Guardian 1935-03-01 p5 "Working Model of a Revolution"
