About Daniel Silva

Daniel Silva is a former journalist and now a bestselling American author who writes what I would call spectacular spy fiction full of international intrigue.

His first book, The Unlikely Spy, was published in 1996. And the rest, as we say, is history. From there, he went on to write two more novels (The Michael Osbourne series) and then created the legendary character Gabriel Allon.

All of Daniel Silva’s books have been New York Times Bestsellers and have been translated into more than 30 languages.

One of the interesting things about Daniel Silva’s books is that he takes things that are happening in current world affairs and weaves them into his books. Sometimes rather last minute. In other words, he may add a storyline that he hadn’t originally planned on because of something that’s suddenly happening in the world.

This adds a dose of reality to the books. He explained how world events sometimes influence his books on a recent visit to the Today Show, where he was talking about his book, The Cellist.

In what order should I read Daniel Silva books?

Daniel Silva has (so far) only written one standalone novel which is his very first book, The Unlikely Spy. You can read that one whenever you want since it’s not connected to any of his other books. His first series (the Michael Osbourne series) only has two books in it and you should read them in order of publication. His main series (Gabriel Allon series) which now has 23 books in it should most definitely be read in the order of publication which is shown above and also on the printable list in this post.

Can you read Daniel Silva out of order?

Daniel Silva’s main book series (the Gabriel Allon series) currently has 23 books in it and technically they are written in a way that would allow you to read them out of order. However, I suggest reading them in order as you will get so much more understanding and enjoyment out of the books that way.

Have any Daniel Silva books been made into movies?

Not yet.

But rumor has it that the rights to the books were acquired. However, that rumor has been around since about 2017 and so far no further information has been made public on whether a movie or a series will actually be made and if so when that might be.
