THE ORDER

Narrator George Guidall brings back the key characters in Silva's Gabriel Allon series. Through a mystery reminiscent of THE DA VINCI CODE, listeners are taken into the world of Catholicism and its historic relation to Jews. Through tone and accent, Guidall differentiates the many characters--some regulars, some new, some good, some quite devious--all of whom move the story along at a steady pace. Guidall proves his mastery of narration with two challenges: First, he keeps listeners engaged throughout the lengthy passages of ancient history; second, he voices Allon's young children without sounding too childlike. Silva also provides listeners with a strong hint about what's next for Gabriel Allon. Once again, the Silva-Guidall partnership delivers an intelligent thriller that will keep listeners glued to their earbuds. E.Q.
