Daniel Silva is another of my favorites, but for a slightly different reason. Usually you love an author because they keep you riveted and you can't stop reading them. Well, this is true for Silva but the real reason I love his is that he challenges me to go further than entertainment and shows realized horrors and tragedies in his novels, featuring Isrealite Gabriel Allon. His spy adventures are as realized and true to life as they get. Sometimes I have to put a book by him down to recover because some of the horrors described are too real. Anybody else read Daniel Silva?? yike: gaah
