The Order really missed the mark for me... yes, I know. I thought the same thing...how is that possible.
Well it's entirely possible when a writer brings in an entirely implausible story line... like Silva does in this book. Yes he brought back characters I enjoy, but not one part of this story is believable... sadly. And part of that... that what Silva is writing about could happen.... is what makes these stories so good... at least for me. Or maybe this series has met it's ending because I have just started #21 and it is not grabbing me like previous books have...
If you are an Allon fan, I'd say skip this one.

Meh. I didn't realise Dan Brown wrote under a pseudonym. What little "action" occurred seemed only a vehicle to lead to preachy exposition on religious doctrine. A lot of political and religious diatribe without any thrill to make this a thriller. Also, in one of the most groan-worthy instances of deus ex machina .

Jesus himself appears to give the clues to Allon

My favorite parts of the Gabriel Allon books are his interactions with his team. Eli, Dina, and the rest of the gang didn't make an appearance until halfway through the book. And then they were gone again not long after. I missed them. Still good, just a departure from the usual formula.
