Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Silva continues to warrant comparisons to John le Carré, as shown by his latest thriller starring Israeli art restorer and spymaster Gabriel Allon. Ahmed bin Shafiq, a former chief of a clandestine Saudi intelligence unit, targets the Vatican for attack, in particular Pope Paul VII and his top aide, Monsignor Luigi Donati, who both appeared in Silva's previous novel, Prince of Fire. Shafiq, who now heads his own terrorist network, is allied with a militant Islamic Saudi businessman known as Zizi, a true believer committed to the destruction of all infidels. Gabriel's challenge is to infiltrate Zizi's organization, a task he assigns to a beautiful American art expert, Sarah Bancroft. Gabriel promises he'll protect her, but plans go awry, and by the end Sarah faces torture and death. While Sarah's fate is never in doubt, the way Silva resolves his plot will keep readers right where he wants them: on the edges of their seats.

From AudioFile
Gabriel Allon, master art restorer and master spy, is recalled to action by his masters in the Israeli intelligence establishment. They have uncovered a plot by al-Queda to assassinate the Pope, and that's only for starters. Christopher Lane keeps all the balls in the air in this labyrinthine plot involving infiltration of the Swiss Guards, the American President, truckloads of evil Saudis, every known intelligence agency in the Western world, and security agencies galore. All the ingredients are stirred vigorously and frequently, and Lane handles it all beautifully. He offers several languages and many varieties of accented English with admirable clarity. And his pacing serves to keep listeners in continual suspense. R.E.K. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
