The Night-Comers
Steven Fraser was relieved to be leaving Indonesia at the end of his contract. Corruption and brutality had been increasingly the order of the day in the newly independent state of Sunday. But Fraser's trip home had barely begun when he tumbled into the thick of a military coup which threatened still further the island's tottering stability. He seemed merely an unimportant pawn in a violent political game, but only his technical expertise could buy Fraser his life--and that of his all too vulnerable fellow hostage.

Eric Ambler began his career in the early 1930s and quickly established a reputation as a thriller of extraordinary depth and originality. People often credit him as the inventor of the modern political thriller, and John Le Carré once described him as "the source on which we all draw."
Ambler began his working life at an engineering firm and then at an advertising agency and meanwhile in his spare time worked on his ambition, plays. He first published in 1936 and turned full-time as his reputation. During the war, people seconded him to the film unit of the Army, where he among other projects authored The Way Ahead with Peter Ustinov.
