Negative Positive
Title: Unexpected Allon character prequel
Review: While not featuring as strong a protagonist as Silva's later books featuring Gabriel Allon, it does introduce characters that will be familiar to readers of Silva's Allon novels: the CIA's Adrian Carter, Mossad's Ari Shamron, and others.By itself, it's a solid if unspectacular thriller. But for fans of the Allon series, it has the added delightful dimension of providing backstory to several continuing characters.
