1) Hardcover Book Moscow Rules by Putnam Adult. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, as I have all the other works of Silva. His books are always fast paced, exciting and with a "can´t put it down" quality. It was good for him to tackle another world problem we have today as far as hi-tech arms dealing and arming terrorists. It´s too bad there aren´t real people like Allon and his legends to carry out what we only read in fiction such as this novel (or, are there really people like this .......... I would hope so!!!!) At any rate, I highly recommend it as a fast paced, exciting read. One other item ......... Ivan´s character "begs" for another "engagement" with Allon. I can´t wait for his next offering!!!!¤

2) Hardcover Book Moscow Rules by Putnam Adult. I bought this book after watching and hearing Dan Silva interviewed on radio and T.V. about his background and his book. Given the major trends and a more aggressive Russia, I expected more detail on Russia´s people, culture and changing political movements. I found it to be a good read, but somewhat shallow in the depth of its characters, with the exception of Gabriel. The story line was good, but predictable, and lacked the suspense I was looking for in a good terrorist thriller.¤

3) Hardcover Book Moscow Rules by Putnam Adult. I have read every Daniel Silva book - he is one of the few authors I purchase immediately in hard-cover. This story was gripping from the very first page and I had trouble putting it down. I hope there will be a sequel. In any event, I very much look forward to the next Silva book.¤

5) Hardcover Book Moscow Rules by Putnam Adult. A very well written book, I´m currently about have way thru can´t wait to finish it.I will buy other books written by this author in the future.
Keep up the good work!!¤

6) Hardcover Book Moscow Rules by Putnam Adult. The extraordinary new Gabriel Allon novel from the “gold standard” (The Dallas Morning News) of thriller writers.

Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the world’s finest writers of international intrigue and espionage— “a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth and John le Carré” (Chicago Sun-Times)—and Gabriel Allon as “one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Now the death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. He’s playing by Moscow rules now.

This is not the grim, gray Moscow of Soviet times but a new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and choked with bulletproof Bentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind the walls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class are ruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation of Stalinists is plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challenge the global dominance of its old enemy, the United States.

One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global investment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business: Kharkov is an arms dealer—and he is about to deliver Russia’s most sophisticated weapons to al- Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery, the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11—and the clock is ticking fast.

Filled with rich prose and breathtaking turns of plot, Moscow Rules is at once superior entertainment and a searing cautionary tale about the new threats rising to the East—and Silva’s finest novel yet.¤
