![]() ![]() Gabriel knows better and because he owes the Russian a debt, he sets out to solve the mystery of what happened to him. British officials think he redefected back to Russia. A man Gabriel and his team helped defect from Russia disappears. “The Defector” picks up where the previous book, “Moscow Rules”, left off. He’s a tormented, soulful man and the perfect character to build a series around. But his lifestyle – everything he’s done and everything he’s exposed to – has taken it’s toll on him. ![]() He is so good at what he does that he’s a legend within the intelligence community as well as within the group of scum that he hunts. In this series, this has included Nazis, extreme Islamic terrorists and Russian arms dealers. Now in his fifties, he has spent his entire adult life bringing enemies of Israel to justice. ![]() ![]() (it’s an unusual combination, but it works). The main character in this series, Gabriel Allon, is an Israeli assassin who is also a highly gifted art restorer. It provided what I’ve come to appreciate about Daniel Silva’s writing – great characters, an intriguing plot, a frank depiction of the current world order, and a sympathetic account of the struggles of Israel and her people. “The Defector” is book nine of this, to date, sixteen book series. If you’re in the market for a really good international espionage/thriller series, I strongly recommend Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series. ![]()
