The Unlikely Spy
#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva’s celebrated debut novel, The Unlikely Spy, is “A ROLLER-COASTER WORLD WAR II ADVENTURE that conjures up memories of the best of Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth” (The Orlando Sentinel).
“In wartime,” Winston Churchill wrote, “truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” For Britain’s counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable—a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor.

Masterfully crafted writing.

One of my favorite books.

Silva’s first and best; also one of the best WWII novels I have read. It is very different from his Gabriel Allon novels (which I also like), so adjust your expectations accordingly. Excellent plot, multiple interesting characters and very well written.

Until the past year, I’ve always looked forward to the next Daniel Silva release, even going back to make sure I had not missed one. That said, the pleasure has been spoiled by Silva’s recent insertion of American politics which was 100% contrived, not relevant to the story line, just his own personal - political opinion. If you want to write opinion pieces then do it separately not in Gabriel Allon’s voice. Two thumbs down.
