House of Spies

De: Daniel Silva

Narrado por: George Guidall

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin, and art restorer Gabriel Allon.

A heart-stopping tale of suspense, Daniel Silva's runaway best seller The Black Widow was one of 2016's biggest novels. Now, in House of Spies, Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge - determined to hunt down the world's most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin.

Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London's glittering West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread.

The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team of operatives to the south of France and to the gilded doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former British fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel's enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel's skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in the global war on terror.

Written in seductive and elegant prose, the story moves swiftly from the glamour of Saint-Tropez to the grit of Casablanca and, finally, to an electrifying climax that will leave listeners breathless long after the final moments.

But House of Spies is more than just riveting entertainment; it is a dazzling tale of avarice and redemption, set against the backdrop of the great conflict of our times. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is "quite simply the best" (Kansas City Star).

Great spy thriller

The only negative for me, was that the narrator spoke so fast I had to put it on 75% speed. Otherwise great story/ plot and action

excellent story of the present norm in our world

excellent story of the present norm in our world today. Thought provoking in all aspects.

as always Silva doesn't disappoint

A mix between fiction and historical events Silva brings us great spy stories. A true storyteller.
Gabriel Allon is 1 scary dude. Tactical and precise he leads his team with the flourish of a true painter and the coldness of an assassin.
I am working my way thru this whole series at an alarming rate.Just can't put them down.

Outstanding!

Daniel Silva gets better and better with each book. No need for me to talk about the book... just buy it and read it for yourself. You won't be disappointed - guaranteed!

Gabriel and Crew back at it...

Topical and timely, like the characters, even the ones I hate...lol. Back to form now after a couple of mehs for me, less love interest side stories and more spy on spy, after all it is a spy novel.
