Eric Ambler

.AMBLER, Eric (1909-1998) The Dark Frontier. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1936.



First edition of the author’s first book in the rare dust-jacket. The Dark Frontier parodies the conventional thrillers of the era and contains elements of science fiction, including a prediction of nuclear weaponry. The father of the modern thriller novel, Ambler greatly influenced the works of John Le Carré, who referred to him as 'the source on which we all draw'.



Octavo. Original blue cloth lettered in black to spine and upper board (minor fading); original pictorial dust-jacket, price-clipped at spine (light soiling, two short tears); custom blue quarter morocco box.
