First edition (US)

Gallions Reach (1927) is a novel by H.M.Tomlinson first published by Heinemann in the UK and by Harper & Brothers in the US. The book was Tomlinson's debut novel. It was republished by Penguin Books in 1952. It is a literary crime novel, initially set in London, before moving to Malaya. It is notable in that Tomlinson uses real streets and locations for settings.

The protagonist, Jimmy Colet, commits a serious crime near the start of the novel, and, despite originally intending to give himself up, leaves London by ship soon afterwards.

Tomlinson uses the stream-of-consciousness technique throughout the novel.
