Three steps back. Read them all and found this one a bit of a slog, early on, almost quit when pandemic talk was gratuitously dropped in and in and derogatory comments were made about a thinly veiled U. S. President. I if I want to read Silva’s political views, I suggest he write non-fiction and quit diluting a really great series with that crap.

Leftist Garbage. I have bought all the previous novels but this will be my last. I know this guy writes fiction but Ive never seen such leftist revisionist history foisted as current events as i read in this book what total garbage

Great Read. Ignore the cranky Trump supporters reviews. A worthy addition to the Allon series. Surprised any followers of the failed casino owner/amateur pharmacist read at all. Life moves forwards as November will surely prove.

Not what I’ve come to expect from Silva. Did it appreciate the anti-Christian tone of this novel. I have read and enjoyed every other book written by Daniel Silva, this will likely be my last.

No longer a fan. Too woke. Threw it in the Goodwill bag after 30 pages.

First DS book I didn’t finish. I was recently recommended to try Daniel Silva’s books and read 12 in quick succession. Great reads. However I just couldn’t get through this one. It felt like a different author and the plot and subject never really grabbed me like the previous books. Moving on to the next one and hope it is better.

Disappointing. Have enjoyed the author’s past works but this felt rushed, disjointed and more interested in pushing a political opinion than entertaining. I wish I had not pre-ordered...a sample would have saved me the purchase price.

Very disappointing. I have read with enthusiasm every of the Gabriel Allon series by Silva. I found myself thinking that this is not the same Gabriel Allon in any of them. It is anti-Catholice (I am not Catholic) and a disservice to the church in so many respects. Even to Christianity iteself.The book is disjointed, full of speculation and conjecture about the life and the last days of Jesus and Pontius Pilate. aIt demonstrates a highly prejucied viewpoint in favor of illegal immigration and any policy that supports proctecing borders. It is obvious in its dislike for President Trump’s administartion without naming him, or that of any other conservative leaders in Europe or elswhere. I could barely get though it and the epilogue was worse than the book.

Silva tackles the right. This is the weakest of Daniel’s books. Too much time is spent virtue signaling, which seems to be the purpose of the book. Now that Trump is out of office, Dan can get back to what made him popular.

Another excellent read!. Fast paced, great characters. Somewhat more like Di Vinci Code.

Not for me. If I had wanted to read about the author’s religious philosophy, I would have picked a Dan Brown book. I don’t. There is relatively little to this book beyond the theological screed. I should have passed on it, and you should, too.

Don’t Plan On Sleep. Another fast paced well written Allon adventure that keeps you up reading past your bedtime! Silva continues to be one of the best ‘spy novel’ writers out there.

The order. If you are a socialist you will love this book. To state that Pope Francis would of stood up to Hitler in 1939 in support of the Jewish people is a joke.

Destroyed what used to be one of my favorite storylines. Went way off the rails with this one with a clear desire to push a political agenda rather than carry on an entertaining storyline. Last book by Silva for me.

Unfortunate. After reading some of the virtue signaling in just the sample, I suspected the first 40 pages were an accurate reflection of the entire book. While I’m fine with different opinions, I’m not willing to pay someone who trades away a good story for moral lectures and condescension. Rather than purchase the book, a friend lent me his. I stopped after 100 pages. Not worth it and it was free. I’m glad I never wasted my money and now I know to cross Silva off my list. If I could have reviewed with zero stars, I would have.

EXTRAORDINARYand FABULOUS. This is a very gripping story,excellent plot,filled with suspense, thrills and excitement. This story is very educational and gives a lot of history and insight into the hierarchy ,power and politics of the CATHOLIC PAPACY. DANIEL SILVA is a MASTER STORYTELLER, HE STANDS SHOULDER TO SHOULDER wITH THE MASTER STORYTELLER, ROBERT LUDLUM.

Jumped the shark. Happy Days was one of the greatest TV shows of its era. It was funny, witty, and featured some fantastic characters. Chief among these the Fonz, the coolest dude in television history. The show enjoyed years of success, one after the other. It was an unprecedented run. And then they went waterskiing, a shark chased the Fonz, and Fonz jumped the shark. That ridiculous scene was enough to prove to the audience that the show was over despite its incredible success. And now in The Order, Mr. Silva jumps the shark. After nearly two decades of hits, Gabriel Allon has just jumped the shark.

Timely, provocative. As always, Silva hits the nail on the head in the most recent installment of the Gabriel Allon franchise. Thought provoking, especially in the context of the world today. Only disappointment is turning the last page! Loved it!

Worst Daniel Silva book ever!. I have been a long time Daniel Silva/Gabriel Allon fan. I actually reread all the books in anticipation of The Order and was especially disappointed at this poorly researched and sourced novel with such clear anti-Catholic bias. While Mr. Silva is not new to controversial themes, his books usually have a fair representation of various opinions and points of view. That is until now. The so-called experts he refers to in his acknowledgments are well known critics who support the very narrow perspective on biblical theology. A particularly glaring deficit in The Order is that the apostle John is never mentioned in the book-an eye witness to the life and teaching of Jesus. Those who are equally disgusted with the infantile arguments presented in this novel may wish to look at true experts in this field none of whom were referenced: NT Wright, Fulton Sheen and Bishop Robert Barron. Sadly, with this poorly sourced and blatantly anti-catholic work, Mr. Silva has lost a fan forever.

The Order. This book has taught me NOT to preorder a book just because I loved the authors previous work. Honestly I just can’t finish which is extremely rare for me. It’s not the politics, the Bible, etc. it’s just the same old stuff. I love the character but the author needs to give him something new to do.

Big fan but not this one. Daniel Silva has proved he is woke and he is an extreme Catholic hater. In previous books, which I loved, his fringe hatred of Catholics was there but to this extreme. Totally disappointed will not read another Silva book.

The Order. Stopped reading at page 115. Total claptrap. Very disappointing as his other books were good, but this is weak. Don’t bother.

Have read every Silva book up to order, I am done!. Silva went of the deep end and I will not be following him, avoid this book. It is his right to use his bully pulpit but my right to avoid listening. Recommend taking a pass on the order, sadly Silva has become too political, he attacks Christians who for the most part are Israel’s best ally!

Again. Another great read! Very entertaining.

Silva is a Biden democrat stooge.. Silva is a Biden democrat stooge. Perhaps the “squad” can spit on Israel´s legacy in the next treacherous installment. What a shame Silva has perverted a perfectly wonderful series by injecting phony narrative party line claptrap into the continuing saga of the very existence of a beloved and blessedly protected Jewish state. Our Christian brethren in the largely anti-Semitic intelligence community have won in allowing this implausible anti-Trump narrative to dominate and skew the continuing story of triumphant survival that the “Office” must manage at all cost in order to assure that true allies of both the IC and the State of Israel such as the inimitable 45th US President Donald J. Trump, and implacable foes such as the vain high-heeled “Tsar”, both fear their prowess just enough to prompt such dipoles to wreak havoc elsewhere, and allow this blessed slice of biblical heaven to survive unscathed for yet another millennium.

The Order. Not as good as some but still an interesting read

The Order. Very disappointing.....

Another excellent tale by Mr. Silva. I thoroughly enjoyed this latest addition of the Gabriel Allon saga. Thought provoking and excellent book with a thread for the next book in the saga.

Good book. I always enjoy his writing and this is no exception

This Must Have Been Co-Written By Dan Brown. I’ve been a fan of Silva since the first Allon novel and literally wait with anticipation every year for the new adventure. Without giving anything away for those who don’t know anything about this book, it was more Dan Brown than Daniel Silva. I get it - Gabriel Allon is getting older and approaching retirement, but this was on par with The Unlikely Spy - a slower paced, slower read. It’s a Silva novel about Gabriel Allon so please just take my money, but I can’t say it’s Daniel Silva’s best work. Maybe he’ll redeem himself next summer.

Somewhat offensive. I enjoyed the book generally and the story was good. As a Bible believing Christian who accepts the Bible as inerrant, I was bothered by the parts questioning the New Testament’s accuracy. If the whole point of the book is to absolve the Jews of crucifying Jesus and saying it was Rome, that the New Testament is to blame for all Jewish executions, then go ahead and throw it out. Should we question the entire Old Testament also? How about all the prophesies predicting the Savior’s death by His own people for the sins of the world. I guess I like the old Gabriel better.

Author is a Liberal Maybe. It seems funny that this author has made several overt references to the political right and blow hard world leaders that use Twitter (like trump) as anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant. A lot similarities to how our left media and politicians reference republicans as far right. I know in my republican heart, I have no hate to legal immigrants and the Jewish people. The left / liberals use them as causes for political gain and power only. I read all the Allon series. If this author continues with incendiary writing, this will be my last. Keep politics out of your books, I want an escape left wing agenda.

Good. More of the same Good but predictable

Defending Judaism by Demolishing Christianity - Really?. I have loved every book in this fantastic series until this one. All of the others deserved 5 stars. But this whole book is built on destroying the Christian gospels - their words, their doctrines, their veracity, everything. The writer rightly hates anti-Semitism, but attacks it by relentlessly spewing anti-Christianity from beginning to end. He cops out by saying it’s only a work of fiction. Well, so was the “Elders of Zion” monstrosity. Does Mr. Silva know that there are 100 million evangelical Christians in America, most of whom heartily support Israel? And a vast majority of Catholics who are not anti-Semitic? The author owes his fans, many of whom are Christian/Catholic, a deep and heartfelt apology for this travesty. And he should quietly remove this disastrous effort from further sales.

Disappointed. The Gabriel Allon series has always been a favorite of mine. I have recommended this series to others on numerous occasions. The Order was a terrible disappointment, literally from beginning to end. I am hoping that this was just a one off for Silva.

HATE FILLED BOOK. If you are a catholic, start flogging yourself now. According to Mr. Silva, you are responsible for the death of all Jewish people from the time of Christ, including WWII, the rise of Hitler and the Holocaust. If you are a conservative, you are responsible for all other devastating problems in the world! Pitiful drivel.

Skip it. Others in this seri have been so much better. Slow read.

Disappointing. Have read and enjoyed all previous Allon books. This was disappointingly subpar, so much so that I struggled to finish it. Villains are undeveloped, they appear suddenly just in time to die. Not sure what happened. As a reader I would be massively interested in younger Allon stories, prequels possibly, as old Allon is losing his excitement. I’m hoping this is a one off for Silva. Everyone has bad days I guess.

Interesting, not typical Gabriel Allon book. This was an interesting and seemingly well researched book. It read very much like a nonfiction book. It was definitely NOT similar to the past Gabriel Allon books. In some ways it seems like a farewell, might we see a new character coming from Mr Silva? While I enjoyed parts of it and learned some things, the pacing was slow and I found myself missing what got me hooked on Allon originally: the art restoration and espionage aspects of the novels. Might be time to head back and read some of those again. It wasn’t particularly entertaining, a bit repetitive from some of his other books dealing with the Catholic Church and similar in some ways to Dan Brown novels. So, missed Allon of old.

Disappointing.. Too much like previous story line. Didn’t care for the politics.

Loved it.. Tightly written, entirely timely, frantically paced... couldn’t put it down.

Dissapoinitng. Love this series pass on this one.

Riveting. Could not put the book down

The Order. I’m a big fan of Gabriel Allon and The Order didn’t disappoint. Good solid read. One of his better books especially lately.

Just Ok. It seemed a little like holy blood holy Grail which questioned the divinity of Christ. As a Cathoilc with 12 years Catholic education from the late 50’s-70. Cathoilc education did not rely on the Bible nor the new Testaments gospels. Jew hating wasn’t class

Will not continue series. Gabriel is too predictable. Found a lot of chapters boring. Did not like how author describes Munich. It is a beautiful city.

Another home run. I am always impressed by the massive amount of research that goes into the Gabriel Allon series. It seems I am always made aware of real life events I was unaware of and other books I need to add to my reading list. I have read every Silva novel written and I always eagerly anticipate the next release.

More like a Dan Brown book but I LOVED it!. Loved it...more like Robert Langdon than the usual Gabriel Allon but I LOVED it!

Plot not the focus. I have read every book in this series and enjoyed each of them...this was by far the most disappointing. Mr. Silva was more focused force feeding the reader an alternate version of christianity than the development of the plot which seemed secondary.

Disappointed. Story and plot line was far fetched. And, the book dragged on and on, somewhat boring to read. His previous books were far more adventurous and very much involved his team members. This one didn’t. Couldn’t wait to finish it and start reading another book from another author.
