What are the best NOVELS that deal with international relations/politics/diplomacy?
The Messenger (Hardcover) $17.13 by Daniel Silva From Bookmarks Magazine The five previous spy thrillers featuring Gabriel Allon addressed topics including the Munich Olympics massacre, Yasir Arafat, and the Vatican. The Messenger, about global terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism, resounded just as loudly with critics. Fortunately, Daniel Silva has also written an ingenious, thrilling, and entertaining book with complex characters and settings, from London and Jerusalem to Rome, that serve the plot well. While one critic cited Silva’s bias toward Israel, the majority felt that the author created characters with different perspectives and left readers to form their own opinions. In the end, they agreed that “Gabriel Allon remains one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series” (Philadelphia Inquirer). Link: http://www.amazon.com/Messenger-Daniel-Silva/
