    Daniel Silva continues to give us great stories! I could only wish the Author's Notes were longer! Silva's take on current foreign affairs is insightful to say the least, which lends belief and makes one question at times, 'am I reading fact or fiction?'.
  • A master story teller at his best.

    Mr. Silva has written an intricately woven tale - his ability to write his characters into historical events is unsurpassed. Though the story moves quickly, his descriptions add a depth and context that brings both characters and settings to life. I think there is no one better than Silva at drawing the reader into the world between the pages such that your own surroundings fall away and when you do emerge, you are surprised at not seeing a light snow falling on a Viennese street or smelling waves of eucalyptus from the garden on Narkiss Street.
  • Another great read

    David Silva never disappoints. It’s always a pleasure reading his novels—can’t wait for the next in Silva's Gabriel Allon series. I started The English Spy after reading two less than well written thrillers. As soon as I finished page one, I knew that The English Spy was going to be a winner as I expected. Daniel Silva is a talented, thoughtful, outstanding writer. Keep ‘em coming.

    This was my first read of a book written by this author. It is a succinct, smooth and pleasant read. I liked the short chapters and there was always something meaningful happening in the story. It flowed well.

    I honestly think that Silva used this book as a bridge to a new series as Gabriel Allon moves on to the role of Chief, Keller's character will be fleshed out more fully and a new series will begin. I did miss the artistic aspects of past books and the usual team work of past books. I enjoyed it, lots of characters.

    Daniel Silva continues to entertain with wonderful plot twists and well drawn characters! While Gabriel Allon is always focused on his "plan", there are other well fleshed out members of the cast who can entertain and even amuse. I have yet to be disappointed by one of these great stories.

    The best Gabriel Allon book yet. Daniel Silva gets better and better! I am so glad that he has not fallen down like other authors. He keeps coming up with terrific new plots, while weaving in past events. I love Gabriel and Chiara!

    Iranians and Russians really bad; American liberals naive; IRA terrorists sorta charming, but bad; British a bit clumsy but good; Israelis extremely brave, extremely smart and very good. No wonder this is Glen Beck's favorite fiction.
  • Great read!
