Always enjoy these stories. Particularly enjoyed this narrator (audio version).
First time reading Daniel Silva's books and I can say its definitely refreshing. I thought the story and characters were well developed and had a good balance, though it did seem the characters were more developed than the story itself. Nevertheless, a good read. Looking forward to reading other works of the author.
I liked it, but these are pretty formulaic at this point.
Another great Allon suspense story that moves quickly and with just the right amount of suspense.
I bought this on a b0go sale with Audible on a whim, I really enjoyed it even though I haven't read any others in the series, since I was listening and didn't have all the backstory it got a little confusing but definitely still enjoyed it.
Better than average, I guess, but I’m not a big fan of espionage/thriller/action stories. I listened to this on a road trip with my husband, mostly because it was read by the fabulous George Guidall. There’s a lot of violence and heartless killing, but at least it isn’t too descriptive or gory, and not horribly misogynist, though of course, the women are all young and beautiful. But it kept my interest to the drawn-out end, so 3⭐️ it is.
One of the best books in the series so far; I very much enjoyed the filling in of the back story of one of my favorite characters.
On the eve of his wife's delivery of twins, Israeli spymaster Gabriel Allon receives an invitation from old friend and intelligence colleague Graham Seymour of Britain's MI6: a royal princess has been murdered, and the chief suspect is a long-sought bomb maker from the bad old days of the IRA, Eamon Quinn. Seymour suggests Allon may want to pursue the bomber with a useful assistant--assassin Christopher Keller, who has his own axe to grind with Quinn.
As the duo track their prey, they sense that the power behind the murder may be setting a trap aimed specifically at Allon... and that Quinn himself may also be playing a deeper game on his own behalf. The difficulty is figuring out Quinn's next move, and whom he'll target. We're back in the twisty, multi-layered world of international espionage, where double agents abound, and spycraft demands that you trust no one.
Silva never fails to deliver a good story, rooted in the realities of geopolitics and global power plays. Keller and Allon are my two favorite characters, so it was a (chilling) joy to spend time with the pair. Both are good men whose work leads them to morally challenging actions, and the darkness of the soul that comes from moving through the world as shadow figures, charged with preventing horrors from literally exploding on an unprepared world.
