Another Brilliant Thrill Ride +++`The Messenger' by Daniel Silva I was late to reading Daniel Silva, however, I am absolutely hooked and `The Messenger' is a big reason why. This is the second Gabriel Allon novel I've had the pleasure of reading - the first being `The Secret Servant', which I didn't think could be topped - and yet again, my favorite novelist delivers big time! This tight, twisting plot is as cerebral as the star of the show. Art history plays a big part of this book which adds an extremely interesting cultural dimension, never mind an integral part of the story itself. `The Messenger' sees Messir Allon confronting `Jihad Inc.', the Israeli spy services pet name for a radical militant Middle Eastern terror group emanating from Saudi Arabia. Our hero must find a way to infiltrate the aforementioned group in hopes of averting a plot to assassinate not only the Pope, but the President of the United States. Characters from Israel, the U.S. and the Holy See all combine to form a story of terrific depth and breadth while never failing to remain thrillingly coherent. At this late date, pick it up in a bargain hardcover version and hang on to your seat while reading. A++ story!
Upgrades Silva from a good to a great author! +++Everyone has read reviews that say, a real page turner, could not stop until I turned the last page; well this book surpassed all of those routine comments. It was now 2:30 am, I was overly tired so much that I was having trouble focusing my eyes to read but I forced myself to finish the book. I knew I would not be able to sleep without knowing what happened to the characters that I wanted to find and terminate the terrorists that had tried to assassinate the Pope and the President of the US. Silva must have used a spread sheet when writing The Messenger, as I did with my novel al-Qaeda Strikes Again, as he did not leave any loose ends hanging. Amazing his attention to even the smallest detail. This thriller by Silva has so much accurate history and dares to portray the Islamic threat as it should be; actually naming names, etc. This book should be required reading for all our politicians and anyone else that wants to understand this war that we are in. God help us if we don't wake up soon!
Smooth as silk +++I thought this book was one of his best and gave it to my wife to read. I had doubts about her reaction, but she keeps asking me if all of Dan Silva's books are this good. The answer is simply yes. He is an excellent author.

The Messenger Description
Gabriel Allon, art restorer and spy, has been widely acclaimed as one of the most fascinating characters in the genre and now he is about to face the greatest challenge of his life. Allon is recovering from a grueling showdown with a Palestinian master terrorist, when a figure from his past arrives in Jerusalem. Monsignor Luigi Donati is the private secretary to His Holiness Pope Paul VII, and a man as ruthless as he is intelligent. Now, however, he has come to seek Allon's help. A young Swiss guard has been found dead in St. Peter's Basilica, and although Donati has allowed the official inquiry to determine that it is suicide, his instinct tells him that it is murder-and that his master is in grave danger. He has trusted Allon in the past, and he is the only man he trusts now. Allon reluctantly agrees to get involved, but once he begins to investigate he concludes that Donati has every right to be concerned, as, following the trail from the heart of the Vatican to the valleys of Switzerland and beyond, he slowly unravels a conspiracy of lies and deception. An extraordinary enemy walks among them, with but one goal: the most spectacular assassination ever attempted. Filled with remarkable characters and breathtaking double and triple turns of plot, The Messenger solidifies Silva's reputation as his generation's finest writer of international thrillers. More
