À propos de cet audio

 Few recent thriller writers have elicited the kind of critical praise that Daniel Silva has received, with his "provocative and deeply satisfying" ( The Miami Herald) novels featuring art restorer and sometime spy Gabriel Allon, "a man whose depth and passion make him one of the most fascinating characters in the genre" ( Chicago Sun-Times)

Now Allon is back in Venice, when a terrible explosion in Rome leads to a disturbing personal revelation: the existence of a dossier in terrorist hands that strips away his secrets, lays bare his history. Hastily recalled home to Israel, drawn once more into the heart of a service he had once forsaken, Allon finds himself stalking an elusive master terrorist across a landscape drenched with generations of blood, the trail turning on itself until, finally, he can no longer be certain who is stalking whom.

And when at last the showdown comes, it will not be Gabriel alone who is threatened with destruction - for it is not his history alone that has been laid bare.

A knife-edged thriller of astonishing intricacy and feeling, filled with exhilarating prose, this is Daniel Silva's finest novel yet.

I enjoyed this story very much, fast-paced and exciting. However the narrator bothered me in a few ways. First of all, for the most part his French accent was passable but for those of us who speak French his pronunciation a several words was almost painful. For example, he pronounced Aix en Province as ‘aches’ when if is pronounced ‘axe’.
Secondly, Barry’s natural voice was very pleasant. However, many of his male voices were yelling when they were speaking of events where that shouldn’t have been the case. Also, his female voices showed very little softness and tenderness when this was required. For example, love scenes where Allen’s girlfriend seemed to speak in an annoyingly loud voice throughout this audible.

I’ll start with the performance as it was somewhat distracting throughout. This readers voice is not as rich and varied as many of the very popular ones. Also, he often mispronounced many names and locations. I give part of the blame for these poor pronunciations to the director or producer.

The story - one of many in the series that plays on the tug between Ari Shomron wanting Gabriel back in the Office and promoted to director and Gabriel’s reluctance - is too long and less engaging than many of the other books in the series. Also has lots of preaching (through characters’ arguments as they work their way through the plot) about Arab and Jewish views of the 20th century history of the land.

Mixed results on both story and performance
