desertcart.com: The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon): 9780451224507: Silva, Daniel: Books

Review: Another quality Gabriel Allon... - Daniel Silva is one of the best writers of thrillers today, and The Secret Servant is another crowd-pleaser in his ever popular Gabriel Allon series. Allon would love to work fulltime as one of the best art restorers in Europe. Unfortunately, he is also a trained assassin for The Office, Israeli's secret service. Professor Solomon Rosner lives in Amsterdam and is a voice against jihadist Islam. He is also an "asset" to The Office, reporting on terrorist activities. When Rosner is murdered in his home city, Allon is sent to Amsterdam to purge his files of anything that may tie the former professor to Israel. But Allon finds much more than he expected, including an explosive plot orchestrated by The Sphinx to murder thousands in London, as well as to kidnap the daughter of the American ambassador. He is thrust into service with the American, the English and the Dutch intelligence communities, trying to prevent widespread death and destruction. But of course, this comes at great personal risk. Silva has a way of working his novels around the current events of the day. He speaks of the dying of Europe, "The Europeans thought they could take in millions of immigrants from the poorest regions of the Muslim world and turn them into good little social democrats in a single generation." According to Allon, "'Islamic extremism is just the latest virus to thrive in Europe's nurturing environment.'" The political situation in Egypt also figures prominently into The Secret Servant, as hard-line Muslims try to seize control of the country. But while much of The Secret Servant deals with very serious themes, there are some comical situations between the different intelligence branches, as well as a big surprise at the end. Also, the regular Silva characters are back including Adrian Carter (CIA), Ari Shamron, Uzi Navot, Chiara, Eli Lavon and even Sarah Bancroft makes an appearance (from The Messenger). There are many authors who produce a series book once a year or so--whether they have something to say, or not. But when Daniel Silva publishes a book, you can expect a story with quality.
Review: Glad I Bought It!!!! - Audio - Review of Secret Servant Plot - Quick, flowing, until the very end, the bit about the wedding could have been left out or confined to a quick five or ten minute, at the most a short chapter. It was nice to know they finally did get married but the details, I found to be unnecessary. The story was not only timely but also very realistic; the course of events could have easily been written in any newspaper. But we the reader or listener, get to hear or read all those little details that couldn't be released to the public. There's something tantalizing about knowing the details that the author stated that were not released in any official document. Pretend that only you and the characters are privy (along with the thousands of other people who read the book) to the book's `For Your Eyes Only' information. Characters - I will definitely read or listen to more books in the series. I loved the characters. I found the fact that the main character not only serves in an intelligence role but is able to maintain a separate and normal existence as an art restorer as a relief to all those other one dimensional James Bond types. Gabriel Allon, the main character is perfect for the simple reason he isn't. He has to do what he has to do. He is not without feelings but he knows when and where those feeling are appropriate. He's not some young stud that runs around bedding women without a second thought; he has an ex-wife with major problems, though I wasn't sure of details. But still it's wasn't dismal, sad but it didn't drown in self-pity. I plan to go back and read the rest of the books in the series after I read Moscow Rules. He's a man who's lost a child, a grown son, so you know he's not some young whippersnapper. He's intelligent, well organized, a man that you want to know, at least as an art restorer. The majority of the rest of the characters were well rounded, enjoyable and at times, scary. I wanted to know more about the characters and not just the good guys. It would be nice to learn what happened to them after the book ended which to me indicated an emotional investment that I developed for the characters. The use of characters were perfect, some had small but crucial roles. Settings - Wonderfully described, detailed without being boring or slowing the story down. Narrator - Excellent, I enjoyed the narrator's work a great deal, while the voices of the females character were not perfect, they within a tolerant range. It's not easy for a man to do a female voice without it sounding awful or laughable. Don't get me wrong it's no better for a female doing a male voice. It is truly an art when a narrator can nail the voice of a character of the opposite sex. Bottom line, a fantastic book with great characters and a terrific story.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Allon Yet
*by C***N on September 5, 2009*

The Gabrial Allon series keeps getting better and better. I have read them all, and this is the best yet. Fast action and a great perspective on Europe's growing problems with radical Islam and, as usual, on the Israeli penchant for survival. Also, we are now seeing characters develop as they reappear from novel to novel. Finally, it is interesting and informative to see Silva explore the terrorist mind as well as the Israeli. While Silva is clearly in Allon's camp, he gives some reasonably unbiased views of how the radical mindset develops from the poverty and sometimes brutal treatment the Muslims receive in some parts of the world. This is a great series. While it would help to start with the first, it is not necessary. Silva provides enough background in the narrative that the new reader will not feel lost.
