Eric Ambler’s Novels
Eric Ambler's first six novels released between 1936 and 1940 quickly established his reputation as a master craftsman of intrigue and espionage narratives. Far less often discussed are the twelve Cold War novels he published, after an eleven-year hiatus as a screenwriter, between 1951 and 1981. This study argues that his entire corpus manifests late modernism's impulse toward a broadly social, political, and cultural critique of the times. Ambler's fiction from the mid-1950s onward is also remarkable for its ludic turn as he assesses the self-deceptions of an increasingly bureaucratized and media-focused world blind to its own follies. In these later works can be seen elements of what has come to be known as postmodernism, though in his commitment to chronicling the juggernaut of modernity he remains a uniquely independent witness of what is now being called the long twentieth century.

The Night-Comers
The Gold Dagger Award–winning author delivers a “sophisticated, circumspect drama of revolution and political terrorism” in a former island colony (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Engineer Steve Fraser has enjoyed his time on the island of Sunda in Southeast Asia. Having finished his job in the former Dutch colony, he’s looking forward to one last weekend in the capital before heading home. But Sunda, like so many newly independent nations, is not entirely stable. It’s a place where unforeseen incidents can radically change the lives of locals and visitors alike. Fraser thought he’d enjoy a little R&R with a Eurasian beauty named Rosalie. Instead, they’re both taken hostage by a fanatical opposition group determined to overthrow the provisional government. As the government launches a counterattack, the couple’s survival depends on their ability to dodge bullets and the shifting loyalties of the coup’s lieutenants. The Night-Comers was originally published under the title State of Siege.
