The N is in Dynamite (Kipling suggested it should be cooked frozen) the B Is Clavell's Noble House and the S is in Nostrum - which is a definitely correct answer
The Shaw clue - Barnabas?
Barnabas (Savvy) GBS - Back to Methuselah

A Glimpse of the Domesticity of Franklin Barnabas so that could be it .

I can't parse the clue, but SEMI means "not altogether" in some contexts, i.e. it was semi-finished.
