Fearful voyage
Readers of mysteries, crime and spy stories should be thankful that we still have publishers keeping us supplied with fresh copies of stories by the likes of Eric Ambler, one of the best of this genre from the mid twentieth century. This book, in my opinion, is the best of Ambler's pre war stories because of its setting on board ship.

About seventy-five percent of the book takes place aboard an old Italian steamer on a voyage from Istanbul to Genoa, in 1940, with the protagonist, Graham, no first named mentioned, and nine other passengers of mixed European ethnicities, some incognito, some menacing, and others just trying to escape before the war closes in on them. Graham is one of the latter, a professional armaments engineer trying to get home to London via Paris before it is too late. He is nobody's agent or spy, but just an ordinary middle aged man caught up in a life threatening scheme beyond his control. The voyage aboard ship seems a safer alternative than the Orient Express train.

Ambler does a convincing job of describing the conditions aboard the old ship. The vibration of the ship's engine that changes tempo with each maneuver; the cabins, too small to be correctly called staterooms, are cramped, dirty and smelly, with no place to sit down other than the bunk; the passageways are narrow and redolent of steam and fuel oil; the ship creaks and groans with the motion of the sea; the narrow dining room also serves as bar, lounge and card room. The only place to escape one's fellow passengers, besides the cramped cabins, are the cold weather decks with little shelter from the wind. Seeing the shore lights of southern Europe slowly drift by from the cold deck or a dingy porthole is very realistic indeed.

Graham has a minor romantic interlude with a married woman named Josette who is described as "not a dancer but a woman who had been trained to dance." Each chapter ends with a sort of cliffhanger that instills fear. Graham is caught in a web that seems impossible to extricate himself from. Eric Ambler is a master of the subtle pre war (or wartime) thriller without the blood soaked pages and outlandish predicaments we are so used to reading in todays thrillers. This a thriller without the thrills but with the chills. This book is highly recommended.

Enjoyable thriller
I found this to be an enjoyable thriller. The most entertaining aspect about it was the backdrop of World War Two before it had reached its boiling point. The characters were of limited depth and the plot is not water-proof. It is easy and quick reading. If one does not expect more than a spy/crime thriller, the book will be worthwhile.

Suspense as understood by a master
Few books that call themselves "thrillers" actually thrill, mistaking extravagant action scenes and prodigious gouts of violence for suspense; but this book is a redeeming and gripping exception.It is marvelously effective, sinking its hooks into the reader's emotions as viscerally as a book could do.One feels genuinely afraid for Graham, the out-of-his-depth protagonist who must survive a trip from Istanbul to London just as World War II is breaking out, despite hostile agents who will stop at nothing to prevent him from carrying dangerous knowledge home.

Ironically, the tension is never stronger than when Graham thinks he has figured his situation out and is confident of his chances; for anyone who has read Ambler knows that he cannot have seen farther ahead than his experienced, professional and resourceful enemy.As Graham repeatedly sees his naïve reasoning undone, the reader experiences the same tightening of the guts that he must.Throughout, Ambler's narrative skill is superb, as when Graham observes his enemy "inspecting him: secretly, as the hangman inspects the man whom he is to execute the following morning; mentally weighing him, looking at his neck, calculating the drop."

The plot is very well done, and deceptively complex: though at first it appears to be merely a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek, Ambler does a beautiful job of choosing exactly the right moments to reveal that there has been quite a lot more going on than met the eye.The emotional tension of the story makes these revelations all the more effective.

My only complaint is that there is a point, fairly early in the book, where Ambler masks his intentions just a bit too much; all indications are that Graham has escaped danger, and the reader's only clues to the contrary are the fact that there are still very many pages remaining, and the frustratingly inappropriate spoilers given on the book's back cover (avoid reading this if you can).However, this is soon made up for, and eventually it becomes impossible to put the book down.Highly recommended.

Quintessential Ambler.
This intriguing tale by legendary spymaster Eric Ambler is set in the very early days of WWII.It revolves around an English engineer named Graham (we never do learn his first name).Most of the narrative unfolds aboard an Italian steamer as it makes its way from Istanbul to Genoa carrying Graham and an international mix of fellow passengers.

An expert on naval ordnance, Mr. Graham has just completed a detailed evaluation of the Turkish fleet.Once back in England he will deliver his findings to the armament firm he works for.After that the much needed retooling of the Turkish navy's firepower can begin.To Graham's utter amazement, he finds himself the object of an assassination plot headed up by a sinister German agent named Moeller.

In typical Eric Ambler fashion, Graham assumes the role of the unremarkable everyman forced by circumstances to think and act in ways he never would have imagined possible.With his life on the line, he draws upon an inner strength he didn't realize he had to foil the professional killers charged with making sure he never makes it back to English soil.

Journey into Fear is masterfully written.There are a number of unexpected plot twists and the characters are intriguing and believable.Moreover, by using exactly the right amount of detail, Ambler succeeds in vividly capturing the mood of the time.Highly recommended.

Cream of the Genre
Eric Ambler was one of the best suspense writers of his time; most of his books were made into movies that today would be described as detective noir.He is especially known for his books that were written in the pre-war and 'phoney'-war period, when most Americans were still isolationist.Ambler spends a lot of time explaining the relationships and antagonisms between countries that will soon be at war with each other.The narratives of how the different characters interact with each other based on their nationalities is a great history lesson in itself.

The time is 1940, just after the fall of Poland and before the war between France and Germany (the time of the Phoney War).Our hero (Mr. Graham a engineer who specializes in artillary guns) has just finished a job for the Turkish Navy.The Turks want to upgrade the guns on their ships before all hell breaks loose in the Mediteranean and Black Seas.The Turkish Secret Service (our old friend Colonel Haki) fears that the Germans will try to delay or kill him so as to delay this upgrading long enough to keep the Turks from becoming a 'player' should war begin.

So begins a tale, much like the "39 Steps", where an ordinary man, is called on to protect his country by outwitting a group of professional spies.Of course he's an amateur (think Ronald Coleman), but you know that in the end he will persevere because he has good on his side.There is a lot (I mean a lot) of patriotism, and English stoicism, in between the lines, as if getting the reader ready for the storm that is on the horizon.

As in all of Ambler's books, the hero is helped along the way by many 'little' people who do their bit to foil the bad guys.Taken in the time it was written, it is a marvelous story of the 'little guy' caught up in an intrigue, that is not of his making, and triumphing in the end. ... Read more
