 Most of these eight mildly diverting short stories ... were written in 1939-40 as Ambler ... awaited his call to military duty. Six ingenious detective [stories] star a heel-clicking, umbrella-toting refugee ("Dr. Jan Czissar. Late Prague police. At your service''). ... Two suspense stories ... beg for further development. In "The Army of the Shadows'' ... Ambler expressed the soon-to-be-unpopular view that the enemy was not the German people but the Nazi tyranny. In "The Blood Bargain,'' salvaged from a failed novel, a corrupt Latin American tyrant uses subtle psychological tactics to gain his release from insurgents, then finds exile extremely dangerous.

Eric Ambler is a master of narrative and an elder statesman of suspense. He virtually created the modern spy story with his ground-breaking series of pre-WWII novels; A Coffin for Dimitrios and Journey into Fear are hailed as classics of the form. Waiting for Orders is the first volume to collect Mr. Ambler's shorter works, most of which date from the period of his greatest literary triumphs. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
