Brent's Book Review Vol. 3

I have found it.  After years of searching, I have found the best author ever.  Ok, this might be a little bit of an exaggeration but not very far off.  I began reading Daniel Silva this summer and have now finished 7 of his books and they got better every time.


Silva's main series focuses on a character named Gabriel Allon who is secretly an Israeli assassin but who works as a world class art restorer for his day job.  He is described as an "Assassin with a conscience" and will keep you guessing the entire time.  Silva blends pulse raising suspense, fascinating character studies, international espionage, and sarcastic humor in a perfect blend.  

I am an avid fan of David Baldacci,  Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Tom Clancy and I would put Daniel Silva in the same category (...if not the best) and would recommend his books to anyone.  The Allon series starts with Kill Artist and his most recent work is Moscow Rules.  If you are in the mood for a new thriller to check out...I would definitely recommend Silva.
