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.
