An interesting thriller that I found stranger than science fiction in the way it documents Palestinian/Israeli relations. If not for the setting, I would have found the book unremarkable, but instead, it will stay with me beyond the read.

This is a Gabriel Allon novel.Gabriel is a premier art restorer living in Italy. he is also one of Israel's top "retired" agents. His life is turned upside down when an explosion destroys the Israeli embassy in Rome, his own dossier,(blowing his cover), is discovered in terrorist hands, and he finds he must stop a master terrorist whose M.O. is familiar, but should no longer exist. This is a very good read, as are most of Mr. Silva's novels.

PRINCE OF FIRE by Daniel Silva: The fifth novel featuring art restorer/Israeli agent Gabriel Allon continues the series place among the tops in spy fiction. This time Gabriel is pulled from his cover to hunt down terrorists who have bombed the Israeli embassy in Rome. The mastermind behind the bombing is French archeologist Paul Martineau, aka "Khaled, son of Sabri, grandson of Sheikh Asad. Khaled, avenger of past wrongs, sword of Palestine." Khaled is also the adopted son of Yasir Arafat, who has sent him to exact vengeance on the enemies of Palestine and the PLO. Gabriels team of agents is able to track down the terrorist, but then there is a stunning twist. Gabriels mentor tells him "You're the one who defends Israel against its accusers. You're the angel of judgment - the Prince of Fire." Hopefully there will be future missions.

I enjoy Daniel Silva's Gabriel Allon series because of the way he blends fact and fiction to tell a believable (and nail-biting) story. This installment in the series follows that same format, and even features Yasir Arafat in a number of scenes. My only objection to this book (as well as the rest of the series) is the political bias - the conflict in the middle east is far more complicated than this book might suggest. However, for lovers of covert-ops fiction this book is another winner.
