Mr. Silva, I have read all of your books with great pleasure. However, Your “opinions” and your information gathering with CNN et al left me with a rather nasty taste in my mouth. What I found objectionable was having politics rammed down my throat while trying to enjoy reading a “fictional” book. Sadly, my last Daniel Silva book.

Another enjoyable read set inside modern politics with Gabriel Allon and company.

Sometimes you either need one more sentence, or leave off the last few paragraphs, that was this book. Also, as good as Mossad and Allon is portrayed, sometimes his stunts and lack of support is just stupid. Nonetheless a good read.

Other than the last few pages, the book is a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ but the ending was a downer. I love Daniel Silva’s books but, I’m sorry, the world is depressing enough without that ending.

Rich with detail and very neatly put together. Good job Mr Silva

A fictitious tale that has a storyline that sounds so familiar to actual events of a recent past. Presents scenes that also provide a history and geography lesson. Also interesting Eastern politics.

I loved this book! Wow! I am always so impressed with the amazing knowledge of this author! I love the characters who I’ve grown to know through the years. This book in particular helped me process and understand the history and culture of the Middle East. A brilliant artist can also be a spy and great humanitarian at the same time, at least in a book of fiction. Can’t wait for the next thriller, hopefully with Christopher and Sarah too! Wish democratic values and freedom would magically appear in the Middle East, but sadly it’s just probably a hope and dream of fiction.

Not one of my best books by Silva . . loaded with politics, political views, and a Euroasia political game. Regret spending the money on this book.

Daniel Silva is my favorite writer in this genre. This book is brilliant, and I think I see a perfectly executed switch from standalone books to a Ken Follett style ongoing drama. My favorite writer delivers perfect action, suspense and drama in this book. My only wish would be that it was a longer book - I mention Ken Follett since there are chronological forward moves I wish were more fleshed out, just as in Follett’s serials. But.... man, what a good read! Highly recommended on its own, and even more so if you’ve read one of the previous books so as to be familiar with the characters.

Of course Daniel Silva does it again. Outstanding as always. Love me some Christopher Keller and would love a spin off with him and Mikhail. Bravo mr. Silva
