Review
โAllon is Israelโs Jack BauerโฆThrill factor:*****.โโ USA Today
โThe action moves quickly, the subject matter feels impressively current, and Silvaโs multidimensional characters seem instantly like old friends.โโ The Washington Post
โA rollicking espionage thriller.โโ The Columbus Dispatch
โA compelling thrillerโฆIt would be difficult indeed to find a more timely novel on a more urgent topic than The Secret Servant. May there be many more novels featuring Gabriel Allon.โโ Tampa Tribune
โHarrowing international intrigue, all the more so for being so topical.โโ New York Daily News
โNobody handles this kind of intrigue as well Silva. He gives Gabriel and the rest of his team the kind of depth seen only in spy novels by Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy.โโ Richmond Times Dispatch
