The Marching Season

By: Daniel Silva

Narrated by: Campbell Scott

When a new Protestant extremist group shatters the Good Friday peace accords with three savage acts of terrorism, Northern Ireland is blown back into the depths of conflict. And after his father-in-law is nominated to become the new American ambassador to London, retired officer Michael Osbourne is drawn back into the CIA.

Then Osbourne uncovers a dark plan that marks his father-in-law for execution, setting into motion a deadly chain of events that will thrust him back into the sights of the most merciless assassin the world has ever known. Osbourne escaped this ruthless killing machine once--but the elusive October will never allow him to slip through his crosshairs again. . . .©1999 Daniel Silva; (P)1999 Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, A Division of Bantam Doubleday Dell

Critic reviews

"Each plot-twisting segment is marked by almost unbearable tension. . . . Silva's unsmiling prose urges you on like a silencer poking at the small of your back."
--Entertainment Weekly

"Daniel Silva has a clear knowledge of his subject matter and an instinctive knack for gripping plots."
--USA Today

"[A] TOM CLANCY-ESQUE THRILLER."
--USA Today

"INGENIOUS."
--The Washington Post

SILVA IS A "SPY-FICTION ACE."
--People

"FASCINATING . . . A NOVEL OF PLOTS AND COUNTERPLOTS . . . The relationship between Osbourne and October is rich in detail and complexity."
--The Orlando Sentinel

GREAT read from Mr. Silva

A departure for me from the mighty Garbriel Alon series but we'll worth the time

Another solid Silva

Got off the ground quickly and a great ending. Lacked the detail of the Allon books.

An OK novel

What did you like best about The Marching Season? What did you like least?

Daniel Silva was recommended to me by a friend. I am hoping that the later books are better. This one just never grabbed me.

Would you ever listen to anything by Daniel Silva again?

Sure.

Have you listened to any of Campbell Scott’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and this one was just as good.

Was The Marching Season worth the listening time?

Yes.

This is an Abridged Version

I already have the unabridged version in my library but thought this was book 2, so purchased it, it’s not!

Not as good as the usual Daniel Silva book.

This was not nearly as good as the Gabriel Allon series books. Less punch and depth. it never grabbed me.
