Prince of Fire,
by Daniel Silva
As a big fan of Silva's series with Gabriel Allon (the art restorer who
"doubles" as a secret agent for the Israeli government), this reviewer welcomes
the fifth book of the series with Allon. In brief, he is pressed into service
after a terrorist attack in Rome and proceeds on a chase to capture a Palestian
terrorist. This terrorist may or may not have been behind the vicious attack on
his wife that was described in earlier books. As usual, the action is
fast-paced, the characters well-developed and the story is very timely. In fact,
the reader gets an insight into the Arab-Israeli conflict that is very well
balanced and educational. Another bonus is the developments in Allon's personal
life that make his character all the more real. This is very highly recommended!
