Few recent thriller writers have elicited the kind of critical praise that Daniel Silva has received, with his “provocative and deeply satisfying” (The Miami Herald) novels featuring art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon, “a man whose depth and passion make him one of the most fascinating characters in the genre” (Chicago Sun-Times).
Now Allon is back in Venice, when a terrible explosion in Rome leads to a disturbing personal revelation: the existence of a dossier in terrorist hands that strips away his secrets, lays bare his history. Hastily recalled home to Israel, drawn once more into the heart of a service he had once forsaken, Allon finds himself stalking an elusive master terrorist across a landscape drenched with generations of blood, the trail turning on itself until, finally, he can no longer be certain who is stalking whom. And when at last the showdown comes, it will not be Gabriel alone who is threatened with destruction—for it is not his history alone that has been laid bare.
A knife-edged thriller of astonishing intricacy and feeling, filled with exhilarating prose, this is Daniel Silva’s finest novel yet.

"I read this quickly in 2 days because I can't seem to get enough of Gabriel Allon. Having read the next two books out of order (before I realized there was a series), the only remaining book for me is Silva's brand new one. It's waiting on my nightstand, but I'm procrastinating a bit as I an not ready to be done with Gabriel Allon." — Dana (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is the first of Daniel Silva's books I've read. In addition to a decent plot, the book provided me with a lot of history of the Arab-Israeli conflict during the 20th Century. "
" I liked this one a lot. while it did end a bit suddenly, it was a good story and didn't have the one specific moment that rang false, like in the previous ones. "
" Every once in a while, a goes-down-easy spy novel is a treat, and few do it better than Silva. "
" A great read! I love the protagonist and Daniel Silva's way of crafting a story. Can't wait for the next one. "
" Another solid Gabriel Allon story, but it was a little heavy on the "poor Israel" angle. It paints a pretty bad picture of Arafat. "
" Another great one. I am enjoying this Gabriel Allon series so much! "
" I usually love Daniel Silva's books. "Prince of Fire" was bogged down with little details that made the story very slow moving. I was disappointed this book didn't suck me in like all the other Silva books I have read. I'm hoping this book laid the ground work for the next book in the series and the next book is as good as Silva's prior books. I love the history and "espionage" tales that are weaved through most of Silva's books. Unfortunately, "Prince of Fire" just didn't live up to the great stories of the prior books. "
" Better than his last one so I may keep reading the series . Will take a break for awhile. "
" This is number five of seven. "
" book on tape. love the characters. "
" I just cant get enough of Gabriel Allon "
" Another good guilty pleasure spy novel for the man who did to Mossad what Ian Fleming did to MI-5. "
" This is an excellent book, and a lot more to it than simply a thriller. This gave a good insight into some of the conflict that exists between the Israelis and Palestinians. "
" I am very surprised at how this author matured as a writer. His early works were laughable, they were so bad. Full of cliches and bad plot lines. But these Gabriel Aron books are much more subtle and nuanced. These books made me embark on a reading of Israeli history. "
" I liked the previous books in this series better, but still enjoyable. "
" An interesting way to present the history behind the current Arab/Jew animosities with a silly (as in hard to believe) love story entwined. A book that won't stay with me, but was nonetheless "entertaining". "
" Definitely not my favorite of the Gabriel Allon books, but I like the new team. "
" A good book. Not nearly as good as his last couple, but he is starting a whole new story line so I have to cut him some slack. "
" All of Daniel Silva's books are wonderful. Culturally rich and powerfully suspenseful. Always full of current issues and written so well. "
" Silva always gives me information. Again I learned about the results of the 1946-7 partition of the Isreal state and its aftermath. "
" Another entertaining, page-turning Daniel Silva thriller. I love this series! "
" Wonderful book. I recommend it, but if I could do it over again, I would start with the first one. "
" Another in a line of Daniel Silva, Gabriel Alon, novels. A little better, even if containing less action, than the previous novels. "
" Another great read in silva's Gabriel Allon series. Silva manages to mix in historical reality with a good read and enough questions to force the reader to think - not about the story, but about the history behind the fictional account. "
" You can say that I am a crazy person put this book is greet . Twists and turns on every page . Must read. "
" I like this series and will keep reading it. The main character lets you know a little bit more about his life each novel and the history is always so fascinating. "
