This novel, "The Defector," is pt.II of the novel, "Moscow Rules." This novel is quite an average spy story which manages to get everybody involved: CIA, KGB, NATO, FSB, MI5, MI6, Mossad, and countless others together in a continuing battle between Jew Gabriel Allon and Russian Ivan Kharkov. Will Ivan and his billions thwart Allon? The storyline is much too slow-paced and instead of describing beaufiful counrtyides, Silva should have drawn out the art of the stalk & chase and the art of the fight. As a reader I didn't care to read countless paragraphs about the cobblestone streets or history of that & this or some area was in a state of ruin during the second world war. Finally in chapter 69 things are intenseley rolling along then, BAM, chapter 77 and the book is over. The ending is brilliant, however the entire work could have been the same pace as it was from Chapters 69-77. I tried my hardest, but it took me five weeks to read this book. "IT IS NOT A PAGE-TURNER." But if you get to the end, you will be rewarded.Read full review
Get ready for another turn pager from Daniel Silva. You won't want to put this down.
