Summary: thank god for good story tellers!
Review: In the past 4 weeks I have read several books; novels, non-fiction and some that are somewhere in between. However, "The Marching Season" makes them all pall. Mr Silva now ranks with Clive Cussler, Jack Higgins, W.E.B. Griffin, Michael Connelly, and outshines Tom Clancy in my list of favorite authors. The book is extermely fast paced and readable. I started the book at 8:30 a.m. and finished at 6:30 p.m.. Mr Silva please don't change your style or your characters.

Summary: Another top notch thriller from Daniel Silva
Review: Mark of the Assassin was my first read of Silva's and I was intrigued enough to pick up the Marching Season in hardcover. The book starts a bit slow while he introduces the problems in Ireland and from there he picks up steam making the book is hard to put down. I just wish he had developed his characters a little more from where he left them the first time. Don't let that stop you from reading Assassin first and then this one!

Summary: DANIEL SILVA'S BEST THRILLER YET!
Review: Once again Daniel Silva has done it. The Marching Season is intelligent and, most of all, entertaining. For readers like me who loved The Mark of the Assassin, this sequel is a real treat. Unlike others in his field, his characters are great, and the story moves like a rocket. I couldnt put it down, but I didnt want it to end! This is what thrillers should be ... fun and a great escape!

Summary: The Marching Season...you can't put it down
Review: Silva creates another winner with The Marching Season. Like Unlikely Spy and Mark of the Assassin, Silva copies from the Tom Clancy best-seller formula. Take one unassuming man, thrust him into combat with villains, and wait for the royalties to roll in. I couldn't put the book down. It's a tad implausible, but exciting just the same.

Summary: Well researched
Review: Silva has obviously done extensive research on the entire Northern Ireland Issue and has managed to translate the fruits of his labour into a very exciting book. Delaroche is a superb villain and Osborne, though not as complex, is portrayed well. I must admit that the book is somewhat addictive, even easy to read in one sitting. Silva's weaknesses are twofold: he does not write female characters well and his portrayal of intelligence operations is somewhat unrealistic. These weaknesses, however, can be forgiven in light of the strong storyline. This book - as well as its predecessor, "The Mark of the Assassin" - could be made into a fantastic screenplay.

Summary: Silva has done it again with a solid spy thriller.
Review: Silva plays out the string with Michael Osbourne and October, and has plenty of cool references to his other works if you are eagle eye enough to pick them up. The storyline is believable in this day and age, and the realism of the behind the scenes action keeps the pages turning. Well worth the late nights.

Summary: Great, but ...
Review: The book is excellent, and every bit as good as The Mark of the Assassin. The only negative thing I have to say about both books is: Will someone please educate Silva about firearms? I cringe every time I read some inaccurate description
Rating:
Summary: Very good read!
Review: The others have done great reviews of this book. I concur it is a good book!

Summary: A terrific sequel - with more to come
Review: The troubles of Northern Ireland spark the return of Michael Osbourne to the CIA and his nemesis, the assassin known as October to the killing fields. The Society is still up to its usual deadly mischief, double dealing in Washington DC is alive and well and it looks as though there is little that can be done to stop an assassination which will sabotage the peace process. How all of this plays out is what keeps this book humming from start to finish. Some scores are settled, but it is doubtful that we have seen the last of the characters that survive David Silva's sequel to The Mark of the Assassin. And that is very good news.
