The novel chronicles the misadventures of Greg Nilsen, an unsuspecting American businessman who becomes entangled in a complex and dangerous arms smuggling operation involving Indonesian rebels. Eric Ambler, widely regarded as the father of the modern spy novel, constructs a web of shifting loyalties, cultural misunderstandings, and geopolitical tension with consummate skill. The narrative moves across Malaya, Singapore, and Indonesia, immersing the reader in a world where ordinary people are drawn into extraordinary and deadly circumstances. Ambler's trademark blend of wit, realism, and suspense makes this one of his most accomplished and entertaining works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956269527259,"sku":"2026100008443-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b870b534-b31e-43c5-8bc6-411fde3d1d23.png?v=1783499316","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008443-secondhand-passage-of-arms","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
