February was my Daniel Silva month due to #BacklistReadathon @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks.

So for #12Booksof2023 my February choice is the Defector, book 9 in the excellent Gabriel Allon series. I also have to mention Book 8, Moscow Rules, which I also read in February. Both excellent reads and The Defector continues the story of book 8.

intothehallofbooks I really want to read this series!! I should make time to start it in 2024. 11mo
Andrew65 @intothehallofbooks Definitely a great series to read. Each book is excellent. 11mo

2nd Book finished for #20in4

Another excellent book in the Gabriel Allon Series by Daniel Silva. This one follows on the events from the previous book where the person that helped Gabriel successfully complete his mission in Russia and then defects to England is abducted. As he saved Gabriel‘s life in the previous book Gabriel goes off to rescue him at great cost to himself and those around him. It‘s become personal. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView

Moving onto the third book of the Gabriel Allon series for February. This is book 9 in the series and the events appear to follow on from those in book 8 so glad I read them close together.

This is an excellent series. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView

Gabriel Allon knows something is strange when Grigori Bulganov former Russian Intelligence officer who was loving his life in England,disappears. Grigori saved Gabriel once in Moscow, he owes him.The complications are vast & deep , & threaten everything Gabriel holds dear.Sliva always writes detailed & exciting spy thrillers, already have the next 1 but who knows when I will get to it.This book is number 9 in the series.

Just a comment.Why does it take so long to finish a book? The internet is a blessing & a curse ! When I came across Cheyne Walk in Chelsea in the text , I had to look up just how many famous people had lived there! I learned a bit but progress on the book has stalled.

minkyb Wow. I haven‘t been on in a while. I had to scroll around to figure out about your gallbladder. I had mine out at 18 and I don‘t wish that pain on anyone. Sounds like you have really been through a lot. Hoping for continued recovery. 6y

Have put aside the book I was trying to read whilst really ill and Gabriel is pulling me out of the slump.
Going home today as no room on the lists for my second op, coming back as outpatient in a couple of weeks. Good and bad, get chance to get some strength back but maybe better to get all done at once. Anyway, looking forward to own bed and Sansa snuggles. ❤️ to all you.

Caroline2 Whey Trish! So glad to hear you‘re able to read and you‘re going home! I rek it‘s better for you to gather your strength and recover! 👍🏻 take care of yourself! 💓 💐 6y
DeborahSmall Hope you‘re ok! 😘 6y
DivineDiana It‘s always nice to come home! Sending ❤️ 6y

arlenefinnigan Jeremy fucking Hunt. Happy reading, hope they get you in soon xx 6y
TrishB @arlenefinnigan I know 😔 feel so sorry for staff and patients. 6y
Velvetfur A second op? Well maybe it'll be better for you to build up a little strength between ops rather than have all that done to your body all at once... Hope you start to feel better soon x 6y

Another epic race against the clock for Gabriel Allon!! The sunshiny beach provided an interesting juxtaposition for this novel set in frigid, snowy Moscow.

Moving right along with catching up on the backlist of The Gabriel Allon series. I especially like how Silva throws in some series-within-a-series adventures. The Defector ties in to Moscow Rules. Read them together for best effect. (Moscow Rules comes first)

Cinfhen I have a mad crush on Gabriel Alon 💕💕I honestly can't remember half of the books but Silva does a good job of reminding readers of past events ( Thank God) 8y
DGRachel @Cinfhen Same here (the crush and book amnesia) 😂 8y
TrishB Still to read, but have the first one ready thanks to @Cinfhen recommendation! 8y
