Book Reviews of Moscow Rules

Book Review: Reviews by Nan Kilar - 4.5 stars for Gabriel & the gang
Summary: 4 Stars

A Russian journalist is murdered in a French ski resort. His boss is murdered in Rome when he was trying to contact Gabriel Allon about an alleged nasty Russian plot. Gabriel, master art restorer and master spy, goes to Russia on a false passport to find out what the message was and, of course, gets in trouble. Ivan Kharkov, a Russian real estate developer, venture capitalist and deadly arms dealer, is about to sell weaponry to al-Qaeda. Against his wishes, Gabriel must stop this sale.

In this tale, Gabriel matches wits with Kharhov who will stop at absolutely nothing to get his way. Old friends from past stories join Gabriel as he plots and plans his `attack' on Kharkov. Will Gabriel be reunited with his new bride? Will Gabriel live?

This is another good story filled with action, suspense and some Russian history.

Summary of Moscow Rules

The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the ?gold standard? (The Dallas Morning News) of thriller writers.

Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the world?s finest writers of international intrigue and espionage? ?a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth and John le Carr?? (Chicago Sun-Times)?and Gabriel Allon as ?one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series? (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Now the death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. He?s playing by Moscow rules now.

This is not the grim, gray Moscow of Soviet times but a new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and choked with bulletproof Bentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind the walls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class are ruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation of Stalinists is plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challenge the global dominance of its old enemy, the United States.

One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global investment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business: Kharkov is an arms dealer?and he is about to deliver Russia?s most sophisticated weapons to al- Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery, the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11?and the clock is ticking fast.

Filled with rich prose and breathtaking turns of plot, Moscow Rules is at once superior entertainment and a searing cautionary tale about the new threats rising to the East?and Silva?s finest novel yet.
