When last we encountered Gabriel Allon, the master art restorer and sometime officer of Israeli intelligence, he had just prevailed in his blood-soaked duel with Saudi terrorist financier Zizi al-Bakari. Now Gabriel is summoned once more by his masters to undertake what appears to be a routine assignment: travel to Amsterdam to purge the archives of a murdered Dutch terrorism analyst who also happened to be an asset of Israeli intelligence.

But once in Amsterdam, Gabriel soon discovers a conspiracy of terror festering in the city's Islamic underground, a plot that is about to explode on the other side of the English Channel, in the middle of London.

The target of this plot is Elizabeth Halton, the daughter of the American ambassador to the Court of St. James', who is to be brutally kidnapped. Gabriel arrives seconds too late to save her. And by revealing his face to the plot's masterminds, his fate is sealed as well.

Drawn once more into the service of American intelligence, Gabriel hurls himself into a desperate search for the missing woman as the clock ticks steadily toward the hour of her execution. It will take him from Amsterdam to Germany to the very end of Denmark. It will thrust him into an unlikely alliance with a man who has lost everything because of his devotion to Islam. It will cause him to question the morality of the tactics of his trade. And it might very well cost him his life.

Good use of reoccurring characters along with a smooth story line. The author as usual remembers the history of his characters and the history of the time. Gigante has an easy reading style.

Excellent story fit to our present time

I’m a big fan of the author and this series. The book reads like something we see far too often in the news. There are some reviews that paint it as hard to believe but it is actually quite easy to believe. In fact, one wonders if it is based upon an event that might have been attempted. We need to never forget that there is a large group of people whose stated goal is to destroy Israel, the United States and everyone who does not believe as they believe. Ever vigilant.

Another good one

I am a great fan of George G but this narrator did an excellent job too. The story and cast of characters keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Great Narrator

As I await the new release from Ben Coes in three days, I'm listening again to some older espionage novels from some of the best authors of the genre. The Secret Servant is the 7th novel in the Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva. It is an excellent novel, but it is not one of Silva's best. Allon is working of the kidnapping in London of the adult daughter of the US ambassador to the UK. In doing so he works with both US and British intelligence agencies.

Silva's first Gabriel Allon audio novel was narrated by George Guidall. Novels 2 -10 in the series including this one were narrated by lesser narrators until Simon Vance narrated #11. All novels since #11 have been narrated by Guidall.

Novel #17 in the Allon series titled House of Spies will be released on July 11, 2017. It will be narrated by Guidall.

Excellent spy novel!
