Book Reviews of The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon)
Book Review: Silva: The Master
Summary: 5 Stars
Nobody does espionage thrillers better than Silva. The Gabriel Allon books, while sometimes coming precariously close to caricature, are compelling, thoughtful action books. While Allon is portrayed as a superman, he also is seen as a level-headed operative who deals justice in the black and back alleys of the world with a clarity that is rare in fictional spydom. And, as always, Silva gives us a jarring lecture on the perils of jihadism -- especially in Europe -- in our modern and dangerous world. And finally, this book -- like the other Allon offerings -- is just a darn good read that will grab you on page one and hold you till the end.
Summary of The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon)
In Amsterdam, a terrorism analyst named Ephraim Rosner lies dead, brutally murdered by a Muslim immigrant. The Amsterdam police believe the killer is a deranged extremist, but others know better. Just twenty-four hours before, Rosner had requested an urgent meeting with Israeli intelligence. Now it is Gabriel Allon's job to find out what Rosner knew, and when he does, it confirms his worst fears: a major terrorist operation is in the works. But not even Allon could have predicted what it is.In London, a young woman vanishes. She is the daughter of the American ambassador-and goddaughter of the president of the United States-and the kidnappers' demands are at once horrifically clear and clearly impossible to meet. With time running out, Allon has no choice but to plunge into a desperate search, both for the woman and for those responsible, but the truth, when he finds it, is not what he expects. In fact, it is one that will shake him-and many others-to the core.
Intense and provocative, filled with breathtaking double and triple turns of plot, The Secret Servant is not only a fast-paced international thriller but an exploration of some of the most daunting questions of our time.
