Summary: Super Sequel
Review: Unlike many sequels, this was every bit as good, if not even better, than the original. The two protagonists, Osbourne and Delaroche, are such fascinating character studies. That alone made the book riveting. Also, I really loved the rather unconventional ending. I am now reading the later works by this author, but the absence of these characters makes them problematic.

Summary: Great story
Review: Warning: Do NOT read this book before reading Mark of the Assassin as this is really MotA Volume II. There are many references back to MotA (another really good story in my opinion). I really liked this book and I felt the story was very well told. Definitely recommended.

Summary: A SURPRISINGLY GOOD SEQUEL
Review: When a paramilitary group uses terrorist tactics to squash the Good Friday Peace Accords, the British prime Minister asks the US President to appoint an experienced politician to the post of US Ambassador to London. The unanimous choice is former US Senator Douglas Cannon, who publicly and vehemently vows to not give in to "thugs" who want to derail the peace process. Although the British politicians are encouraged by his remarks, his intrepidness makes him a target for assassination. Out of concern for the Ambassador's safety, Michael Osbourne, Cannon's son-in-law and retired CIA counter-terrorism expert, launches his own unofficial investigation. Osbourne is shocked when he discovers that his old nemesis, the painter-assassin Jean-Paul Delaroche, whom Osbourne thought was killed during their last encounter, is alive and is responsible for the execution-style killing of a Hamas leader in the Middle East. Osbourne returns to the CIA to stop Delaroche before he carries out his next assignment: The assassination of the US Ambassador to London.4 and 1/2 Stars. THE MARCHING SEASON starts off slowly and but recovers as the narrative continues. Silva demonstrates why he is one of the best researchers in the genre. The reappearance of Delaroche and Osbourne make this sequel memorable, although their "reunion" was not what I anticipated. Nevertheless, Silva is a very talented writer who churns out an emotionally charged ending from a slow and steady storyline. Die-hard Silva fans like myself will want this book even if it is a bit more passive compared to his previous efforts.
