The Dark Frontier. [A novel.]

The Dark Frontier launched Eric Ambler's five-decade career as one of the most influential thriller writers of our time. England, 1935. Physicist Henry Barstow is on holiday when he meets the mysterious Simon Groom, a representative for an armaments manufacturer. Groom invites the professor to Ixania, a small nation-state in Eastern Europe whose growing weapons program threatens to destabilize the region. Only after suffering a blow to the head'which muddles his brain into believing he is Conway Carruthers, international spy'does the mild-mannered physicist agree to visit Ixania. But he quickly recognizes that Groom has a more sinister agenda, and Carruthers is the only man who can stop him.

  • "L'un des premiers romans (1936) de cet auteur devenu célèbre dans le genre difficile du récit d'espionnage. Cette aventure, curieusement menée au second degré par un physicien qui s'identifie à un détective fictif, fait songer aux bons romans de John Buchan dont l'auteur semble prendre le relais même dans l'intuition prémonitoire."
  • "Que peuvent avoir de commun l'éminent physicien Henry Bastow et un personnage aussi trouble que Simon Groon qui travaille pour l'une des plus grandes sociétés productrices d'armes? Et comment le paisible professeur Bastow a été améne à devenir un redoutable agent secret? La réponse à ces questions va se jouer dans les bas-fonds sordides d'Europe orientale."
