Summary: Silva Shines!
Review: I absolutely loved this follow-up to The Mark of the Assassin. Silva is the new king of the espionage/adventure-thriller! I flipped thru pages as fast as I could, anxious to reach the denouement, but at the same time not wanting the story to end. Well-drawn and likable charachters , both good and bad, propelled the story of revenge and terror in Ireland, the U.S., England, and Europe. Can't wait for the next Michael Osbourne tale.

Summary: So-So Silva
Review: I wasn't thrilled when I learned that Silva had decided to address the "Troubles" in his new book. However, once I got into it, I really enjoyed the subject. Unfortunately, Silva didn't seem to trust his instincts and the second half became a run-of-the-mill "chased by the assassin across Europe and through DC" tale that's been told a million times. Silva claims he's not going to use Osborne and Delaroche in his next book. I don't find either character all that interesting and I won't miss them.

Summary: Best Book By Daneil Silva Yet

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: 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: 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: Intriguing and "Clancy-ish"!
Review: Enjoyed immensely the protagonist's moxie; also found the relationship between him, his father-in-law (the man at risk while acting as Ambassador to Great Britain), and his wife satisfyingly realistic. Greatest disappointment was in the "anti-heroine" Irish female, whose husband had been killed in conflict. She seems a survivor, cunning and intelligent, yet with ideals to fuel her fervor, but the reader never gets the "whole story" on her; she ends up a "shadow" in the big picture. The antagonist, however, is a wonderfully complex, intelligent villian, who even undergoes deforming plastic surgery to preserve the myth of his fatal demise. A great suspenseful,political/terrorist read!

Summary: One of the best
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. I became a little dissapointed when the character Micheal joined sides with October, when they are suppose to be enemies. I'm looking forward to his next book hoping that it includes the same people. I prefer The Mark of the Assassin over all of his works but this one was also a great espoinage thriller and always kept me hanging.
Rating:
Summary: A fast paced thriller
Review: I admit that I am hooked on Silva; read Mark in paperback and was so thrilled after reading it that I bought The Marching Season right away!! Michael Osbourne is growing on me like Harry Bosch; a gripping thriller that is a good read
