- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not Silva's best. A mystery about a CIA agent employed to be in Ireland at the time of the troubles to protect his father-in-law who is the US Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Action against splinter groups of the IRA,etc. Quick read
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In the sequel to “Mark of the Assassin”, ex-CIA agent Michael Osbourne is recouping from his physical injuries and gets bored out of his mind playing Mr. Mom. When Osbourne’s father in law has taken a position as the USA’s ambassador to the Court of St. James Osbourne willingly comes back to the CIA in order to investigate a new Irish terrorist group as well as protect his relative. Osbourne manages to foil the plot, but the group takes out a contract on his life.The plot actually has two main parts, the Irish terrorists who call themselves “The Ulster Freedom Brigade”; the second is about Osbourne and the two parts are closely related.This book has most of the same characters as its prequel, but the book is not as enjoyable. The pace is fast but the story is predictable, about half way through (if not sooner) I already figured out the ending which, this time, had no twists. This is an OK thriller, I liked Silva’s other books better.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It started off with good pace and just kept on going. Never a dull moment.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have come to enjoy the Gabriel Allon series of spy stories from Daniel Silva. The Marching Season is not exactly part of that canon, but it does share some characters and has another character who could have served as an extended character study for Gabriel.This book and the Allon series are connected through the story of Adrian Carter, a CIA operative who becomes head of the CIA, a role continued in later books. Also present is Ari Shamron, Gabriel Allon’s boss at the Mosad. In Marching Season, he is a minor character, still in charge of Mosad Operations, and a character of dubious moral fiber. The third thread that connects the two is a mysterious assassin, known primarily by his cover name, October. Like Allon, he is an artist, as well as an accomplished assassin, has a physique like a cyclist and can pass for different nationalities.The Marching Season stands on its own merits, and stands very well indeed, but these similarities were too noticeable not to comment on. Silva’s writing style is as fluid as his more recent works. Despite his penchant for detail, I found it annoying from a technical point that he constant used “clip” in place of “magazine” for the device that holds bullets in an automatic weapon. This technicality did not bring down the rating, however.The plot is well constructed and plausible, but there were not enough twists to really elevate this story beyond four stars. If you are a fan of Gabriel Allon, this will fill in some of the backgrounds of the characters in that series. If you like old school spy novels, this is a good addition to your bookshelf: very little in the way of gadgets but lots of stalking, intelligence gathering and trying to outguess the other guy.
