   Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Great story, always well written with twists and turns that you didn't see coming and hoped wouldn't. It brings back another 'old friend' Keller, and this time another blast from the past in the guise of the IRA. Possibly this story has more resonance if you have a UK background, as it evoked memories from my childhood, when Gerry Adams wasn't allowed to have his voice heard on the news, and had to have a voice over. (  ) libgirl69 | May 27, 2019 |  This was a good one! Some of its predecessors seemed a bit rote. (  ) decaturmamaof2 | Nov 28, 2018 | Even though this is the first book of the Gabriel Allon series for me, there was enough back story woven throughout that I didn't have any problem following the plot. I think I could have got more out of the interplay between the characters, though, if I had more background on them. For what was primarily a complex spy thriller that covered everything from the Irish troubles of back in the day to the current political climate of al-Qaeda and the Kremlin, it did not skimp on character development at all. I do have one complaint but it has nothing to do with Daniel Silva's writing - it's about the audiobook version itself. George Guidall is not one of my favorite narrators and the B&N audiobook app is pure frustration. I'll be sticking with Audible and Overdrive from now on. ( ) wandaly | Dec 4, 2017 | Spy thrillers are not my go to genre. Therefore, when I saw The English Spy by Daniel Silva in the $2 hard cover bargain bin I almost did not buy it. Alas, the front cover caught my attention and the back cover sealed the deal. Well worth $2 and more. The story is so well crafted and I was drawn into the web of spies and revenge from the get go. Even though I have not read any of the other books in this series, I really got into the character of Gabriel Allon. I will definitely have to read more of the books in this series. I highly recommend this to readers of espionage/spy themed books and for those who just like a good story, you need to read this too. ( ) purpledog | Nov 18, 2017 | Once again I was sucked in from the first page. I find it so interesting how Daniel Silva is able to parse the real into fiction and I am always left wondering, despite the disclaimers, is it really fiction?!

The target is royal. The game is revenge. She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and charitable works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England. When a bomb explodes aboard her holiday yacht, British intelligence turns to one man to track down her killer: legendary spy and assassin Gabriel Allon. Gabriel's target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who sells his services to the highest bidder. Fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone; at his side is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows Quinn's murderous handiwork all too well. And though Gabriel does not realize it, he is stalking an old enemy - a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will find it necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its distinct advantages. No library descriptions found. |
