Book Review: Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon): Daniel Silva: Books
Moscow Rules is fast-paced and thrilling,

This review is from: Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon) (Hardcover)
Daniel Silva continues to show why the crown of the suspense thriller is not an easy one to dislodge from his head. Once again we’re enthralled by the guile of Gabriel Allon, art restorer extraordinare. Our favorite secret agent is informed by undercover intelligence that a Russian smuggler is secretly selling weapons to an advanced terrorist group. And you thought this honeymoon was to be different the second time around? Naughty, naughty. Well, our leading man decides to investigate this and find out when exactly this attack is set to be launched. But if no one knows much more than who’s buying and selling how are we to discover the plan of attack? Enter Elena, who not only spills the beans on the weapon’s sales, but on the real reason for it. As with all Daniel Silva’s novel, Moscow Rules is fast-paced and thrilling, intriguing and insatiable. Another great book I’d recommend is-SIRENS by GEO TIN: Sirens (Mass Market) I gobbled it down in 2 days…I couldn’t stop reading…always a sign of a great book.
BEST SILVA YET!!!! ,

Thrilling and entertaining! I read it in one sitting. It is my favorite Gabriel Allon book yet. Love the Russia setting. Love the return of Cold War intrigue and the female heroine of this book [...] is irrestible! I feel as if I really know these characters and thats what set these books apart.
The good news is I read it in one sitting, the bad news is I cant wait another year for the next book. There has to be a sequel to this book! Please also write more Michael Osbourne books! Please write faster.
Your #1 Fan from NYC!
Loved you on Glen Beck tonight! The pitchfork was hysterical!
engaging spy thriller,

Art restorer Alessio Vianelli also known in some secretive circles as Israeli master-spy Gabriel Allon is on his honeymoon with his second wife Chiara in Umbria when his friend and undercover associate Uzi Navot meets with him at an Assisi, Italy restaurant. Uzi, a senior official for the Israel secret intelligence service, informs Gabriel that Russian arms dealer Ivan Kharkov is selling weapons to al-Qaeda. The assumption is obvious that a planned major terrorist attack is forthcoming, but none of the western espionage agents knows which cell or where. Gabriel insists on investigating.
The tip came from inside Moscow as Ivan’s wife Elena warned the west. Gabriel believes she is the only avenue to who specifically her spouse is selling the weapons to; she must be recruited in order for her to obtain Kharkov’s ledger sheet. Unknown to Gabriel and his associates is that the former Russian Colonel and his associates have grandiose schemes to return Russia to its Soviet Empire glory days and thanks to western, Chinese, and Indian thirst for oil, money is no longer an obstacle.
The Allon counterespionage series is one of the best spy thriller sagas on the market today; however his latest escapades in Moscow is fast-paced, but lacks the moral underpinnings that make the enemy seem human. Perhaps it is because MOSCOW RULES follows the fantastic THE SECRET SERVANT, which placed the spy thriller quality bar at stratospheric levels especially with the extraordinary explanation on how a person metamorphosis into a terrorist. In spite a shaky ending, Daniel Silva’s tale showcases a different no longer bleak Moscow in which oil money and America’s economic woes has made many think they can revisit and win the Cold War especially influential ruthless former military colonels.
