I started The Black Widow yesterday and finished it today because I couldn’t put it down – seriously, I only slept 3 hours last night because I had to keep going back to this book. I’ve read every book in Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series, and this is one of the very best. The Black Widow takes the issue of ISIS head-on, dealing with things that have occurred already, and things that could occur, but hopefully won’t. This book really resonated with me because it brings most of the action to the United States for the first time in the Allon series – a nightmare scenario to be sure, but all the more interesting since we’re the subject. Also, the plot line of this book is well developed, crystal clear, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The book starts with a major act of terror by ISIS in France. In order to inherit a previously unknown Van Gogh painting willed to him by a prominent friend killed in the attack, the French government wants Gabriel to find the perpetrators. This leads the Office team to recruit a woman doctor in Jerusalem and train her to infiltrate ISIS. It’s discovered that a major ISIS strike in the United States is imminent, and the intelligence services of Israel, Jordan, France, England, and the United States work together to try to stop it from occurring. Writing from Gabriel Allon’s Israeli perspective, Mr. Silva is blunt in characterizing the strengths and weaknesses of the countries intrinsic to the story, including ours. He is so well-informed and prescient about what the bad guys of the world are up to, that whenever I read any of Mr. Silva’s books I wish they were required reading for everyone in government. That all this brilliant insight is given to us in the form of a story so well-written and engaging is Mr. Silva’s unique talent. I even devour the author’s notes and acknowledgements – even these are interesting. I can’t say any more than this – if international intrigue and a great story are things you enjoy, this book will give it to you in spades. Buy the book – it’s great!

Review #2

The Black Widow audiobook in series Gabriel Allon

I have read, and loved, the previous 15 Gabriel Allon novels. While it pains me to give The Black Widow only 3 stars, I was very disappointed at the political bent the author showed us, over and over and over again. It became very tiring and unnecessary. We get it. Mr. SIlva is none too happy with the current administration. I became bored with the same formula, the same sentences, the same descriptions, the same head tilt, etc. I still eagerly await #17 Allon. I can only hope Mr. Silva and his editors read these comments and perhaps adjust the tilt of the wheel by a few degrees.

Audiobook The Black Widow by Daniel Silva

I read one of Silva’s previous books which is set in Vienna and the woman who gets blown up is a N

I know I am in the minority. Mr. Silva used to write about NAZI hunters getting killed in VIENNA by Nazis who got financial support from clerics. Vienna was a city in which his character GABRIEL came in posing as an art restorer. In this book the Prize for Gabriel is a VAN GOGH worth a million pounds. Silva has an attitude towards Europe as bordering on contempt and to him the only place for A JEW is Israel. Ok but why bother to write in English when your audience is only the JEWS IN ISRAEL. Why should a girl be brainwashed in order to risk her life when after all she is only the creature of GABRIEL and he gets out of it a VAN GOGH painting.?Gabriel does not demonstrate any feeling towards CARAVAGGIO who painted scenes involving early CHRISTIAN martyrs. It reminds me of the Israeli tourist groups shown around Church frescoes who are more interested in finding a toilet for their kids..Let those who enjoy Silva’s novels continue to do so . I do feel that Muslim extremiusm is dangerous but
to treat Europe in the way Silva does is to ignore the positive aspects of Western civilisation.

Audio The Black Widow narrated by George Guidall

I have been a fan of Daniel Silva since the beginning, since before Gabriel Allon showed up. He has an intriguing, very appealing writing style that makes whatever he says interesting. He can write about spies and action and adventure and superheroes, or he can write about nuclear physics or potato chips, and it all comes out in such way that you can’t put the book down. With the Allon series he has developed characters of such depth that, after reading even a few of the books, you feel as if you know them as well as you know some of your own family. The stories are always well thought out, and the plots are as modern as tomorrow. Plus, each book is a history lesson, containing information that is based very much in reality.

In this book, ‘The Black Widow’, the Office (Israel’s intelligence agency) finds itself in the middle of a hunt for Saladin, the new leader of ISIS, who is planning a series of terrorist strikes in America. Gabriel and crew hook up with the French and the Jordanians, and somewhat reluctantly with the Americans, to locate and stop Saladin before he can complete his attacks. They recruit a French national and train her to pose as a radicalized Muslim who wants to join ISIS and help with the war against the West. The story follows her as she first infiltrates the organization, then receives training in Terror 101, and finally as she travels to America to participate in acts of terror in Washington, D.C.

The story progresses as it usually does in an Allon book. He becomes aware of a grave situation, he confers with his sources and confidants and works out a strategy to defeat the problem, he recruits an outsider to infiltrate the organization, he invests himself emotionally, his group does amazing things to learn as much as possible about the bad guys, and then the outsider is rescued at the last second.

This formula has worked well, but after many Gabriel Allon missions, it is starting to get a little bit predictable. What sets this book apart from the previous ones, and keeps it from getting lost in memory simply because it follows the formula, is its shocking departure from routine at the very end. The ending is actually not predictable; it is disturbing and even frightening. Because of the surprise ending, I give the book four stars instead of three.

Why would I consider giving three stars to a well written book by one of the top three thriller writers in business today? It is precisely because of the formula that has worked so well in the past. There are several books in this series, and each is top notch. But you can only use the same trick a certain amount of times. Eventually the thing that worked in the past starts to seem a little stale. In this book you can predict what is going to happen next, and you can almost quote some of the dialog word for word. How many times have we read the following: “Oded and Mordecai, a pair of all purpose field hands.” Or “…his chin in his hand, head tilted to one side.” Or something about Chiara’s “riotous hair” or something about Ari “igniting one of his Turkish cigarettes.” If this were a standalone book, such things would not be noticed. But for the reader who has been with the series since its inception, the repetitiveness is annoying. So, three stars due to predictability and lack of creativeness in describing recurring characters. But it earns a star back based on its departure from the formula by having an ending that is very much not predictable. But don’t do that to us again.

As I said, Daniel Silva is right at the top of the list of best thriller writers, but the pattern for his books is just a little shop-worn. As a stand-alone book, ‘The Black Widow’ is great. But for the faithful followers of Gabriel Allon and his band of merry spies, a little departure from the routine would be refreshing. And please don’t do that by blowing up the rest of the country next time.

Free audio The Black Widow – in the audio player below

This is, as usual, a gripping and very realistic story and worthy of 5 stars. However I really do have an issue with the cost of Danial Silva’s Kindle books. Top writers recent new books are under £10 e.g. Stephen King’s End of Watch £4.99, Peter May’s Cast Iron £6.99 while this is £11.24, double the price of the paperback. I managed to get the Kindle version for 99p but the offer only lasted a day. I also cannot understand why we still cannot get the earlier Gabriel Allon books on Kindle and at a realistic price. Perhaps I could persuade Gabriel to pay Silva a visit and remind him he should be considering his fans a little better.
