Gabriel Allon Series . Daniel Silva.
Gabriel Allon Series . Daniel Silva. Eighteen books so far in this series about Gabriel Allon, spy and art restorer. Silva is very thorough in his research and thus paints a much more involved picture of the spy game than others you may have read. Allon is an Israeli spy, based on Europe and eventually in Israel as he climbs the ranks of their secret service. Close ties to the Middle Eastern, European, English and American spy ranks allow the stories to flow across the globe as Allon pursues those who would do damage to Israel. The research allows a different point of view to come through, which is often lacking in other Western writings. Russia ends up as the ultimate enemy as Putin politics of aggression become evident. But Allon has enemies in many camps through these books. The writing is crisp, has a good pace, excellent character development and is often very hard to put down. Each book is great for a four plus hour plane ride.
