I heard Mr. Silva promoting his book on a radio show and although I've kind of burned out on the super-spy genre, the book was so highly recommended by the show's host, I thought I'd give it a read.
This is the very first book by Mr. Silva that I've read, although this is the 7th(?) of the series so I came to this book not knowing the characters. Perhaps I'm just burned out on the genre, or maybe I hadn't developed loyalty to the characters that one might get after reading the series, but I just didn't get in to this book very much. It was a decent read and had some exciting parts, but it also had a number of moments of boredom that put it in the 3 star category with me. I can't really say what I objected to without spoiling things, but it seemed to me there were lots of loose ends, unnecessary digressions, and improbable plot twists that kept the story from being as coherent and suspensful as I had hoped it would be. If I had it to do again, I think I'd rather have picked this one up from the discount bin.

An excellent writer of thrillers but is Silva an Israeli agent? He seems to be propagandizing on behalf of the Cheney-Netanyahu clique.

Daniel Silva gets increasingly better. Secret Servant kept me in the game from the very first page to the last.

Daniel Silva may just be the best spy/thriller writer these days and "The Secret Servant" is the latest proof in his series featuring the Israeli Spy, Gabriel Allon.
This time, Allon finds himself in the middle of a hijacking of a U.S. Ambassador's wife. Allon deals with the politics of the Europeans, the politics of the U.S. and the reality that to fight terrorism means to be willing to kill or be killed.
The plot is compelling, the writing is excellent and the dialogue and the action means you don't want to put the book down. I won't give away other details, but Silva seems to have his pulse on the realities of the Middle East and the fact that the terrorist world is a dangerous place where European and U.S. leaders play "politics" instead of playing tough.
Read this book. You will not regret it.
