Product Description
The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the gold standard (The Dallas Morning News) of thriller writers.

Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the worlds finest writers of international intrigue and espionage a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth and John le Carre (Chicago Sun-Times)and Gabriel Allon as one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Now the death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. Hes playing by Moscow rules now.

This is not the grim, gray Moscow of Soviet times but a new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and choked with bulletproof Bentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind the walls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class are ruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation of Stalinists is plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challenge the global dominance of its old enemy, the United States.

One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global investment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business: Kharkov is an arms dealerand he is about to deliver Russias most sophisticated weapons to al- Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery, the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11and the clock is ticking fast.

Filled with rich prose and breathtaking turns of plot, Moscow Rules is at once superior entertainment and a searing cautionary tale about the new threats rising to the Eastand Silvas finest novel yet.

2 out of 5 stars Not so believable...particularly the Audio Version   October 7, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

First, let me comment on the Audio.. It plain stinks. The reader uses some European stereotyped Jewish accent mixed with Russion for the Israeli characters...It makes them all sound evil.. It sounds ABSOLUTELY nothing like an Israeli accent. It changes the tone of the book to hear Israeli's talking like evil Russians with a Polish accent.. just horrible. And he did zero research. He said the word "Chuppah" (a wedding canopy) pronouncing the "ch" like the ch in "chair" instead of a "clear your throat" "H" sound. Anyone Jewish (and lots of Silva's readers certainly will be Jewish, will just laugh at this... it cheapens the writing. I am usually amazed at how good the readers of these novels are...but this one is terrible.

I liked the book itself but some of it just strains your imagination. There is a long sequence where Allon needs to talk with a Russian journalist alone. They meet at a party, eat at a restaurant, then go on a tour of Moscow so they can talk. The whole time they are being shadowed. Meanwhile, Allon is supposed to be a diplomat and not a spy. But he is meeting in full view of all the Russian minders with the journalist closest to the one that the Russians FSB just killed. This is just lazy writing. Clearly he would be seen... and also...during that sequence, they talk in a cemetery within sight of the minders. Like the minders wouldn't have a listening cone that "hears" over long distances (like they have at the football games). This is just a huge plot hole..

sorry....



5 out of 5 stars Exciting   October 3, 2008

Well done!



5 out of 5 stars Daniel Silva Outdoes Himself   September 29, 2008
As with all his books Mr. Silva has given us a page turner that wouldn't allow me to fall asleep at bedtime. This one was so on the mark. Can't wait to read his next one. HURRY!


5 out of 5 stars Gabriel Allon is Back... Daniel Silva Rules!   September 21, 2008
Daniel Silva has given us another exciting and well written Gabriel Allon mystery. The story is very interesting and based upon current affairs - you will find yourself often wondering how much is fiction and how much is fact based upon some of the world's current events. Either way it is great!

You will enjoy this book if this is your introduction to Daniel Silva. You will soon find yourself seeking out all the other books in the series. If you are already a fan of Daniel Silva and Gabriel Allon you will enjoy this book and you will soon be wishing you did not finish it so soon and be anxiously waiting for the next adventure you can share with Gabriel Allon.

Thank you Daniel Silva! You Rule!



4 out of 5 stars Same Old, Same Old   September 20, 2008
Despite the end of the Cold War, the Russian bogeyman still is accessible to the writers of spy/suspense stories. Even before the recent invasion of Georgia, the Russian "bad guys" were available to populate tales such as Moscow Rules. In fact, the title dates back to the classic le Carre novels.

This novel is another in the Gabriel Allon series. He, of course, is the larger-than-life art restorer cum Israeli agent, equally adept with paintings and mayhem. In this case, he has to save the world from a Russian arms dealer supplying accurate ground-to-air missiles to al Qaeda.

Written with the intensity and smoothness of its predecessors, Rules is as thoroughly exciting and entertaining as its forerunners. If Gabriel is a bit unreal, the character demands such a persona.

Recommended.
