    Forced to put down this otherwise good story due to this author’s inability to control his distorted left wing liberal political views that came close to destroying America. Silva needs to stick with what he knows best: FICTION!
  • Allon at his best

    I have always enjoyed the Gabriel Allon books ever since I read my first one. They each have the intrigue that keeps you reading. I just finished the “Collector” and have a sense of emptiness because I wanted it to go on. I will continue soon.
  • Too close for comfort!

    Fiction or truth? Gets messy when you cannot tell.

    Way too much character development as well as property descriptions. Just get on withe the story. This book could easily have been and should have been only a 300-pager. The foreign names also made it hard to keep track of the characters and thus who was a good guy and who was bad. I think I am done with Gabriel Alon.
  • Solid

    The story itself is pretty good. The series has certainly shifted from Gabriel conducting the mission to be more of a director when called upon and introducing new characters to the mission and danger. Once again and to my disappointment the author insists on plugging his own personal political messaging into the novels which are both an oversimplification and probably insulting half of his audience with ludicrous takes. I beg of you sir, save it for a blog…

    A fictional story that could be a precursor of real events when it comes to Ukraine. Scary believable.

    I only kept reading this book assuming that my favorite author was saving the excitement for the end. But obviously Daniel is saving it for a later book. This was terribly boring. I’ve read every Daniel Silva book and they keep getting worse and worse. Reading grocery labels is more exciting. Thankfully I still have the early books to reread.
