The real Gabriel Allon
Friday, July 25, 2008
For those of you who missed the NYC event, the real Gabriel Allon came and signed books with Daniel at the Barnes and Noble stop. In real life, meet David Bull one of the world's finest art restorers who has taught Daniel so much about the world of art restoration. As Daniel introduced him, "he does not have a Hebrew accent, but an English one... but he does speak lovely Italian." And as far as we know he is not a spy! Hope you all enjoy!

Mr. Silva, you must smile more on your book jackets. When you smile you see your soul. When you are stone-faced, well you are not being your true self I imagine. I'm an admirer and so appreciate how much work you put into your masterpieces! Blessings and Peace, Minda.
I see your point, but I think the cool, sophisticated look suits the type of books Silva writes better. And I definitely agree with you: Fantastic books. Love every single one of them. And Gabriel Allon feels like a friend.
I've read all your books, including your latest, Moscow Rules. I enjoyed all of them! But my favorite of all is The Confessor. I adore both your main characters, Gabriel Allon and Michael Osbourne. I'm looking forward to your next novel.
I have to personally thank my wife for getting into Daniel Silva books. We were waiting in an airport in St Maarten to go home and she took the book I was reading and told me to find something else to read. I wandered into one of the bookstores in the airport and came across The Secret Servent. After reading it I had to get my hands on the other Gabriel Allon books. After reading each one, I crave the following one. The Gabriel Allon series is absolutley amazing. Keep up the great work Daniel.
I wish I could have been there, I live right near NYC. I LOVE the Gabriel Allon series and I can't wait for the Defector to come out!!
I have picked one of your books on DVD and after the first one could not stop reading all your books. I have recommended them to all my family and friends.
I especially LOVE the Gabriel Allon series.
I am very much looking forward to your new books.
I'm from Italy and I have only enjoyed "L'Inglese" (The English Assassin)from Mondadori and now I'm reading "The messenger" from Vertigo. I'm seeking for "Il restauratore" (The kill artist I guess) but it's now out of print from Mondadori... Why italian editors do not translate more of Gabriel Allon series books? They are super.
I have to thank my co-worker for introducing me to your books. I am presently reading your 5th book, The English Assassin. As with all your books, they are all page turners and leave a reader with a desire to read on and on until the book is finished. I commend you on the abundance of knowledge and research that you bring into your novels. Superior reading!
Hi, Mr. Silva. I'm a high school student from Malaysia. I've been reading your books since I was 15 and I must say that none of them disappoints me. Your novels are the finest a person can possess given the information rich storyline and interesting plots. Regardless of how complicated the story is[esp in Gabriel Allon's] you managed to retain reader's interest and flow smoothly throughout the novel.
I must also say that your fine works have given me inspirations and made me think more maturely as well as developing my foreign affairs interest.
Above all I'm very impressed by your work [and I think fellow readers share the same thought as mine] and keep it up, Mr.Silva. May God Bless You.
My comment is really a question: will your new book "The Defector" also be published on Sony e-Book?
I love to read books on the e-Book, but in your case I will read anything you write in any form.
I have read all your books, in fact I own a copy of each one. My family knows that when I read a new Silva book, I am lost to the world.
Thank you for taking me into another world and guiding me safely through it.
Beate
