Uncommon Danger is the second novel by British thriller writer Eric Ambler, published in 1937.
 In his autobiography, "Here Lies", Ambler explains the original title was "Background To Danger", but his British publisher disliked the word 'background', so it was published in all English-speaking countries except the US as "Uncommon Danger".
The Care of Time (1981) is the last novel by British spy fiction writer Eric Ambler.

The Mask of Dimitrios is a 1944 American film noir directed by Jean Negulesco and written by Frank Gruber, based on the 1939 novel of the same name written by Eric Ambler (in the United States, it was published as "A Coffin for Dimitrios").
 Ambler is known as a major influence on writers and a developer of the modern thriller genre.
Passage of Arms (1959), by Eric Ambler, is a fast-paced thriller about the discovery of a cache of arms, abandoned by Communist insurgents in the Malayan jungle, and the later transfer of the arms via Singapore to Indonesia.
 The novel is structured as three connected stories.
 The outer, framing story is that of Girija Krishnan, the Tamil plantation clerk who finds the arms cache and sells it to raise money to fund his bus service company.
 Krishnan′s story of business ambition leads to the story of an entrepreneurial Chinese trading family who arrange the transferring of the arms.
 The central, third story features an American couple, Greg and Dorothy Nilsen, who are tourists of the Far East used to legitimize the transaction, and so find themselves in great danger — the recurrent theme of ″innocents abroad″ that characterizes the novels of Eric Ambler.
