About this audiobook
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva delivers another stunning thriller in his latest action-packed tale of high stakes international intrigue featuring the inimitable Gabriel Allon.
She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and charitable works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England. When a bomb explodes aboard her holiday yacht, British intelligence turns to one man to track down her killer: legendary spy and assassin Gabriel Allon.
Gabriel’s target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who sells his services to the highest bidder. Fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone; at his side is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows Quinn’s murderous handiwork all too well.
And though Gabriel does not realize it, he is stalking an old enemy—a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will find it necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its distinct advantages….

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narration takes a good book into a great book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story is great and very well read. Daniel Silva is definitelly worth reading/listening!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Having not read or listened to any of the Authors work previously, i found it very absorbing and a definately worthwhile.
Story line is beleivable, which some books of a similar nature can be far fetched.
No spoilers, so just enjoy.
I found the narrater difficult to follow to start, my hearing aids struggled with the soft tones. Pleasant sounding though. The accents were not as accurate as they may have been for, say Irish or Geordie. I got used to the narration and thought he was well paced. No critism, as the accents for Southern and Eastern European where excellent.
Will read or listen to some other books of the series for sure.
