 Silva Rules December 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This may not be the best of Allon series, but never fails to entertain. Occasionally, I felt I had read it before, but Silva would throw another twist that kept me reading. Allon is a well developed character who fans have gotten to know. It's especially clever to weave the art world into Silva's complicated plots. The portrait of Russian oligarchs was exactly as expected.
Leaves you wanting for more... December 24, 2008
I always look forwad to the next release in the Gabriel Allon series.
This one came out and I had missed it until now.
I like the way Silva wrties and the Gabriel Allon character is wonderful.
In the case of Moscow Rules, I felt that too much was left up in the air. I enjoyed it, but wanted more. After several of these books the twists in the plot are too predictable. Plans never go as planned, and the principals always (almost) make it through. This book sets up a new story that can come back to the many characters that Silva has introduced to us throughout the series.
I just hope the next book comes quickly.

I have read all of Gabriel Allon's novels and this book is the reason why I love Mr. Silva's books. At over 400 pages, I finished this book in one day and this is because it is a pageturner. It never gets boring, it contains good action scenes, and Mr. Silva keeps bringing back the characters that followers of this series love. I'm eagerly awaiting Mr. Silva's next book in the Gabriel Allon series which comes out next year - The Defector.
Quicksand vs Gabriel Allon December 13, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
As if on cue, Daniel Silva starts throwing curve-balls in the dead middle of Moscow Rules (2008). When Gabriel Allon's France-Israel-Russia-US-London traverse delays his honeymoon plans, the plot hits quicksand with the potential a sale of an antiquity outside London. Two problems are noteworthy as an afterthought: 1) even infants can't be trusted for their girgles and 2) the books length is arguably concise.
Gabriel Allon reluctantly takes on a Russian oligarch in solid, enjoyable novel December 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Daniel Silva's creation, Gabriel Allon, has grown into one of the most fascinating fictional characters with an active series. Lee Child's brilliant Jack Reacher has stumbled a bit lately under the sheer weight of the series, and Barry Eisler's John Rain has also had a couple of missteps. But Allon, Israeli agent/assassin and world-class art restorer, continues to enthrall.
At the outset of the novel, Allon has retired to married life, more than content to savor his honeymoon in Umbria with the gorgeous Chiara while restoring a painting at the personal request of the Pope. But domestic bliss never lasts for a man of Allon's unique talents.
A Russian journalist dies a ruthlessly-efficient death in France. His crime? Investigating a Russian oligarch with ties to possible arms deals with al Qaeda. Circumstance drags Allon reluctantly out of retirement, only to have another journalist die in his arms.
The threat to the West and the need to redeem a personal failure throw Allon deeper and deeper into the world of the new Russian oligarchy . . . which according to Silva is just the old Tsarist system with a new, corrupt face. Allon must venture into the lion's den in Moscow and also battle the monster himself in St. Tropez. The centerpiece of this thrilling novel is a highly-detailed kidnapping/defection operation that gives the reader an honorary degree in intelligence tactics.
Silva remains at the top of his form in these thrilling pages. While after so many novels it would be tempting to render Allon and his team of Israeli agents as invulnerable supermen, Silva manages to create genuine tension even though this is the eighth Gabriel Allon novel - one wonders whether Allon, who has seen and fought so many battles, will survive this clash against a demigod in the Russian criminal underworld.
But despite all the tension and dark moments, Silva retains his sense of humor. Silva's world remains one where a person is defined as much by his nationality as his DNA - look for plenty of subtle jokes and outright insults aimed at the French, Russians, English, Americans, and the Israelis. The opening scene sees a snooty French hotel running an operation of its own in an attempt to repel a Russian guest who somehow managed to make a reservation - a firing offense for the clerk who let a ghastly Russian into this enclave of anti-Slavic privilege.
Is "Moscow Rules" the "best" Gabriel Allon novel? Probably not. But if you're looking for a world-class espionage thriller, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better book this year.
