Book Reviews of Moscow Rules (Gabriel Allon)
Book Review: Allon And On
Summary: 3 Stars
Silva's latest thriller is awfully similar to an earlier entry (was it The Messenger?) where the ruse of selling a painting is used to ensnare an asset and the same cast of characters assemble for the plot here. The books in this series are increasingly repetitive, each with the mysterious unveiling of the hero or action through the eyes of supernumeraries followed by Allon's inevitable briefing with Shamron where they always relate information about each other's past they're both certainly aware of. This entry doesn't even have much action to speak of, though there is a really good final shoot-out.
Thankfully we're spared the Weekly Standard-style neo-con lectures from Allon. When politics intrude on things it's from the mouths of CIA agents who offer laugh-out-loud apologies for the Bush administration.
There also a bit of a double standard in Silva's work. Russian journalists here are justifiably lauded for their heroics in taking on the powerful in their society. Elsewhere in his books however, the third person point of view gets awfully snitty when Israeli or American misinformation is challenged by the press in the tale's aftermath.
