Summary: Better than Robert Ludlum at Ludlum's best!!!
Review: A terrific read! Until now, Robert Ludlum's "THE MATARESE CIRCLE" was the best spy thriller I ever read. Now Silva's work is number 1 on my list. The plot was intricate. The characters were interesting, especially the assasin, and the prose was outstanding. You won't regret this read!

Summary: A good read
Review: Although not one of Mr. Silva's best, a good read nonetheless. A familiarity with Ireland and its troubles is helpful, however, I found the story line relatively easy to follow anyway. Silva is always exciting and though the plot is somewhat thin, his latest does not disappoint in the thrill category.http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/tiannei/

Summary: Disappointing
Review: After completing Mark of the Assassin I couldn't wait to devour The Marching Season. However, I found it disappointing in comparison. Reading more like a travelog of England and Northern Ireland, Silva assumes that you're already familiar with the characters and for those who aren't you'll be left feeling empty. Mark of the Assassin was a page turner - I skipped pages in The Marching Season trying to find the next section of real action. He's still a great read and if you only read this one you'll be impressed.

Summary: Good read, but light in character development.
Review: Although one is at some disadvantage without already knowing of the Northern Ireland conflict, this is nonetheless an exciting read. The central character, Michael Osbourne, is immediately likable, and seems to have that quintessential American bull-headed, go-for-it attitude, while maintaining an immediately intelligent and honest persona. Confusion may occur rapidly, in distinguishing between "Republican" vs. "National" and "Protestant" vs. "Catholic", if one is not already aware of real-world Ireland. That notwithstanding, the plot intrigues, with what appears to be a morally and idealistically-vacant, superpower group whose identities remain hidden, convinced that a little trouble in the world goes a long-way towards advancing their economic pursuits. The greatest disappointment, is in the character development of a leading antagonist, the young, strong, bereaved Irish widow, Rebecca Wells. She seems to have a significant impact in the outcome, but the reader is frustrated by only occasional glimpses of her, with little understanding of how she "works" or what she really is. The development of the key assassin, Delaroche, is far more complex, and intriguing. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read!

Summary: Dead accurate. Alive with suspense.
Review: Daniel Silva keeps getting better and better. The Marching Season is his best yet. Silva clearly has gone to great lengths to research this thriller. His understanding of counterterrorism is superb. Silva moves the story along with skill and style that is unmatched by all those former lawyers cranking out novels. The Marching Season leaves them in the dust.

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: Great follow-up to Mark of the Assassin!!
Review: After reading the Mark of the Assassin I couldn't wait for his next book. The wait was truly worth it. However, we still don't know who the Director is. Maybe we'll get more clues in his next novel. Keep up the great work D.S.

Summary: Good story well told, and new friends come back.
Review: I still remember the first time I read John Buchan. There is a memory of Buchan in Silva's novels. There is complexity of story and personalities that dynamically draws the reader along. There is a great sense of place, and an unerring insight into what can explode into action, and how. Terrorism brings death into our everyday life, and I for one am glad that Osbourne is there knowing something about where it may strike and doing something about it. Corruption is all around us in this novel, but so is integrity. The integrity is straightforward in Osbourne, his wife and his father in law; and it is twisted but recognizable in Delaroche. I think there will be more stories, but for now I am sated with the literate adventure in this book. An East coast reader.
