Over the course of ten previous novels, Daniel Silva has established himself as one of the world’s finest writers of international intrigue and espionage―“a worthy successor to such legends as Frederick Forsyth and John le Carré” (Chicago Sun-Times)―and Gabriel Allon as “one of the most intriguing heroes of any thriller series” (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Now the death of a journalist leads Allon to Russia, where he finds that, in terms of spycraft, even he has something to learn. He’s playing by Moscow rules now.

It is not the grim, gray Moscow of Soviet times but a new Moscow, awash in oil wealth and choked with bulletproof Bentleys. A Moscow where power resides once more behind the walls of the Kremlin and where critics of the ruling class are ruthlessly silenced. A Moscow where a new generation of Stalinists is plotting to reclaim an empire lost and to challenge the global dominance of its old enemy, the United States.

One such man is Ivan Kharkov, a former KGB colonel who built a global investment empire on the rubble of the Soviet Union. Hidden within that empire, however, is a more lucrative and deadly business. Kharkov is an arms dealer―and he is about to deliver Russia’s most sophisticated weapons to al-Qaeda. Unless Allon can learn the time and place of the delivery, the world will see the deadliest terror attacks since 9/11―and the clock is ticking fast.

Filled with rich prose and breathtaking turns of plot, Moscow Rules is at once superior entertainment and a searing cautionary tale about the new threats rising to the East―and Silva’s finest novel yet.

Moscow Rules

Another great adventure of Gabriel Allon. How does Mr. Silva create such great fiction, just as good as Gabriel paintings. Action that held your attention, hard to put down. Looking forward to his next adventure.

Not Quite as Unpredictable

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023

The Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva is one of my favorites. The books are always well researched, well written with complex plots. Gabriel’s usual team members usual characters are so well developed that they seem very real. Having read the previous books, this one is a little more predictable than some others. One knows Gabriel will survive for the next book, but this was the most improbable rescue in all the Allon books I’ve read. It was still entertaining and difficult to put down, but the ending was not as satisfying because it only set up the next book.

Reupholstering the Iron Curtain

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2008

While other authors of pop thrillers seem to have come off the rails in recent works, reigning master of espionage fiction Daniel Silva is beginning to make it look like he doesn't know how to write a bad book. He's back with another tale of Israeli operative Gabriel Allon that is as relevant to current events as it is entertaining - a non-stop adrenaline rush of the politics of deceit and terrorism, of violence and honor. As usual, Silva's themes are simple: Annon's unflinching loyalty to the survival of Israel on one side, opposed in this case by loyalty to only greed in the form of Ivan Kharkov, a shadowy arms dealer of the "new" Russia, a fictional character based loosely on a real "merchant of death" recently upended by allied intelligence forces.

"Moscow Rules" rings true to current events like all of the author's previous works, and the picture he paints of post-Soviet Russia is indeed scary. Many of the Russian mobsters who ruled during the chaotic 90's following Communism's collapse are still in charge, as are many of the old Soviet guard, only now with respectable jobs and respectable titles holding high places in commerce and government. While the names of the organizations and political parties may have changed, there is little doubt that the new state police, the FSB, has reinstated the brutal principles and principals of the treacherous KGB, while the new National Party's oppressive control of the people is as repressively effective as Khrushchev or Brezhnev - or Lenin or Stalin - could ever have dreamed. It is a land where Russian oil and Russian weapons are making a new class of billionaires, and at least in the case of weapons, where there is little discrimination as to the hands in which the weapons end up. And when a Russian journalist and his editor are murdered after uncovering a Kharkov arms sale to al-Qaeda, Allon is summoned back from his convalescence and honeymoon to thwart the deal.

As expected, the stoic Allon faces down gangsters and criminals while building alliances with familiar faces and cooking up intricate schemes making "Mission Impossible" look about as complicated as an episode of "Friends". Allon moves from cliff hanger to cliff hanger, serving as a punching bag for Russian thugs in between. If there is anything to criticize in this well-researched thrill fest, it the similarity in plot and format to "The Messenger" - substitute "Moscow's" Kharkov for "Servant's" Saudi billionaire and you pretty much get the idea - right down to the supporting cast. Buy hey, the formula works - exceedingly well - so why change it? Like all of Silva's tales, while it is not difficult to predict the finish, it is also predicable that the magnitude of the geo-political problems that Silva illuminates will leave you with a lingering and uncomfortable feeling of fear and frustration - the realization that it will take at least a legion of Gabriel Allons to calm these troubled Middle Eastern waters of today.

I have been following books written by Daniel Silva for many years. Among my favorites are the ones centering on Gabriel Allon. I particularly enjoy Daniel Silva’s ability to take readers along on his risky journeys in different parts of the world to protect his country and other countries from their enemies. Allon’s dedication to his country and human values make him very attractive. I always eagerly wait for Daniel Silva’s new books to meet Gabriel Allon again. However, when the book “Moscow Rules” was published, I found myself reluctant to open it because being born in the former Soviet Union and being a “refusnik” for almost ten years, I was afraid to find that the description of Russian life and characters would be different from my experience, from my life. But when I read “Moscow Rules” I was not able to endure the return of memories of the years spent in refuse which for a long time were coming in my nightmares. Talented author is able to draw a picture by using very subtle details, massively enriching the big picture, thereby remaining realistically vibrant. In his novel, Daniel Silva describes the Era and really brings it to life with just a few words. He describes the famous House on the Embankment: the exclusive residence built by Stalin for the most elite members of “nomenklatura”. Those “privileged” “lived in constant fear of knocks at the door”.
It is terribly true that the entire country for many years lived in constant fear of receiving “knocks at the door” most likely at night. It was an intrinsic aspect of life in Russia at that time.
Another surprisingly truthful description of Russian life was mentioned by Olga, who described the Novodevichy cemetery: “playwrights and poets, monsters and murderers: they all lie together here in Novodevichy.” She said that one can see “the striking contradiction of our history.”
I also would like to admit that author very aptly describes psychological process of Russian people after “perestroika”. Olga said: “To understand Russia today, you must understand the trauma of the nineties. Everything we had, everything we have been told, was swept away. We went from superpower to basket case overnight.” Russian people “believe in the …. Tsar. They associate democracy with chaos.”
Those quotations are just a small part of the picture of Russia presented in the book and reveal extremely realistic picture of Russian history.
The book is engaging thriller with a serious analysis of Russia’s history and fates of the Russian people.
