While in Amsterdam, Israeli intelligence officer and master art restorer Gabriel Allon discovers a plot that is about to explode in the middle of London. The daughter of the American ambassador is to be brutally kidnapped. But Gabriel arrives too late to save her. And when he reveals his face to the plot’s masterminds, his fate is sealed as well. Drawn once more into the service of American intelligence, Gabriel desperately searches for the missing woman as the clock ticks steadily toward the hour of her execution. The search will thrust him into an unlikely alliance with a man who has lost everything because of his devotion to Islam. It will cause him to question the morality of the tactics of his trade. And it might very well cost him his life… A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From the Paperback edition. Review: The Silva Standard - The Secret Servant Daniel Silva This is Silva’s seventh entry in the Gabriel Allon series. This is the second time reading it for me. I first read it when it was published. Early this year I began re-reading the Allon series from the first entry. So every other book I have read this year has been an ‘Allon’. All that being said, I am even more impressed with Mr. Silva’s dedication to his mission to reveal or remind the readers, old and new, that no one is safe and no one can be complacent and what has happened before can happen again if we are careful to not ignore the past and its remnants extant today. But, this is no text book. It is no diatribe. This is a first rate author doing extraordinary research on all facets of his characters’ lives, professions, assets, weaknesses, skills and habits. His fiction is a wrapper for the historical facts but his story telling, plot weaving and character consistency is compelling, exciting and entertaining. Kale may be a necessary vegetable but frozen and dipped in dark chocolate makes eating it a lot more interesting. Mr. Silva does not shy away from the reality of terrorism or counterterrorism. He will fight fire with fire. So, his books are not for the squeamish. And finally, if there is someone out there as yet not familiar with Mr. Silva’s work, I recommend that you first read the Acknowledgments in any of his books. This is always a fascinating section of his books. It is not a glad hand piece of puff. One can read how he learned about his subject matter and who he relied upon for research and tutelage and who helped him. This list is full of equally talented and dedicated people in their fields and, for me, says a lot about who Mr. Silva is and how he regarded in his field. My recommendation is that this book is a superb use of your time. Review: Glad I Bought It!!!! - Audio - Review of Secret Servant Plot - Quick, flowing, until the very end, the bit about the wedding could have been left out or confined to a quick five or ten minute, at the most a short chapter. It was nice to know they finally did get married but the details, I found to be unnecessary. The story was not only timely but also very realistic; the course of events could have easily been written in any newspaper. But we the reader or listener, get to hear or read all those little details that couldn't be released to the public. There's something tantalizing about knowing the details that the author stated that were not released in any official document. Pretend that only you and the characters are privy (along with the thousands of other people who read the book) to the book's `For Your Eyes Only' information. Characters - I will definitely read or listen to more books in the series. I loved the characters. I found the fact that the main character not only serves in an intelligence role but is able to maintain a separate and normal existence as an art restorer as a relief to all those other one dimensional James Bond types. Gabriel Allon, the main character is perfect for the simple reason he isn't. He has to do what he has to do. He is not without feelings but he knows when and where those feeling are appropriate. He's not some young stud that runs around bedding women without a second thought; he has an ex-wife with major problems, though I wasn't sure of details. But still it's wasn't dismal, sad but it didn't drown in self-pity. I plan to go back and read the rest of the books in the series after I read Moscow Rules. He's a man who's lost a child, a grown son, so you know he's not some young whippersnapper. He's intelligent, well organized, a man that you want to know, at least as an art restorer. The majority of the rest of the characters were well rounded, enjoyable and at times, scary. I wanted to know more about the characters and not just the good guys. It would be nice to learn what happened to them after the book ended which to me indicated an emotional investment that I developed for the characters. The use of characters were perfect, some had small but crucial roles. Settings - Wonderfully described, detailed without being boring or slowing the story down. Narrator - Excellent, I enjoyed the narrator's work a great deal, while the voices of the females character were not perfect, they within a tolerant range. It's not easy for a man to do a female voice without it sounding awful or laughable. Don't get me wrong it's no better for a female doing a male voice. It is truly an art when a narrator can nail the voice of a character of the opposite sex. Bottom line, a fantastic book with great characters and a terrific story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,072 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #183 in Terrorism Thrillers (Books) #294 in Espionage Thrillers (Kindle Store) #368 in Conspiracy Thrillers (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon Book 7) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TknpfMOvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Silva Standard *by A***L on June 26, 2018* The Secret Servant Daniel Silva This is Silva’s seventh entry in the Gabriel Allon series.

Silva combines non-fiction with fiction to educate readers. The main and supporting characters are so well written. Fair warning do not get too attached to any of them because you will be heartbroken. This story provides a little insight into suicide boomers and the screwed up beliefs that leads someone to take their own life. You feel for the terrorist father. What a heartbreaking storyline that was.
