FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
|
"And so here we are again, two nice jewish boys sitting on a European street corner at three o'clock in the morning. My G-d, when will it end?"
"It's never going to end, Eli. This is forever."
So it seems to the fictional Gabriel Allon who has been through it all as an Israeli assasin always hot on the heels of the latest terror plot. Hijackings, suicide bombing attempts, hostage rescues.... He's seen them all. His first counterterrorism feat was against the Black September gang involved in the 1972 Munich massacre. He even saved the Italian pope's life at one time! And he has had many success stories ever since, but not without having to endure some sort of physical or mental trauma himself in the process.
This story has its roots in Egypt and the U.K. and the Netherlands. It begins when an Israeli operative is killed. The tracks lead to a terror plot in Great Britain whose target is the U.S. embassy's multimillionaire ambassador. Enter the U.S., the Brits, and of course, Allon, into the fray.
I admit, Israeli spy stories, both fiction and fact, are my favorite subjects. Espionage adventure, my favorite genre. Daniel Silva is a master in the fictional department. His books are suspenseful, hard to put down.
This story highlights Egypt's brewing militant Islamic elements, its causes and Great Britain's burgeoning militant Islamist population. Their security forces seem to have their hands full....
Surveillance is great with so much trouble brewing. |
