If you haven’t yet been drawn into Daniel Silva’s thrilling universe of intrigue, danger, and exceptional spycraft, start here—and see why the Philadelphia Inqurer declares that, “The enigmatic Gabriel Allon remains one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series.”

Worthy Entry for the Series

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes, I would recommend this book, but I would first encourage my friends to go back and read some of the more outstanding books in this series, such as "The Secret Servant".

If you’ve listened to books by Daniel Silva before, how does this one compare?

I would rate this book as 'average' for the Gabriel Allon series. Overall, I do agree with some of the other reviewers on this website that the Allon series is starting to feel a bit old and tired. That said, even an 'average' book by Daniel Silva is better than most authors' best works.

Would you listen to another book narrated by George Guidall?

Yes, I felt that Guidall performed well for these characters. However, my favorite reader for the Allon series is Phil Gigante.

Did The Fallen Angel inspire you to do anything?

Not especially.

Good mix of current world politics and fiction

Silva does it again! Interesting, intertwining plots, engaging characters and wonderful narration provided a great listening adventure. There was a lot going on with multiple characters and at times a little confusing, but overall good.Interesting premise on today's global politics and terrorism. Would have been better if I could have listened to longer segments at one time . Will Gabriel be back?

Excellent plot

I haven't read the print version, but I think the audio edition is excellent in regards to adding suspense to the story.
