I've read all of Daniel Silva's books. This one was interesting and well thought out with the Russian plot line. The swipes at the Trump administration were petty and destroyed my trust in his unbias study of history. I understand that people view events from different prisms but his was a blatant propaganda piece from the left. If you're going to write fiction thrillers, write fiction thrillers. If you want to investigate the final year of the Trump administration, write a well researched book, name your sources and present the facts to the reader so they can learn from your efforts. Don't assume that just because people like your books and your writing that they agree with your politics. I'm disappointed in the author for this edition of his wonderfully entertaining novels. It's not courageous or speaking truth to the unwoke masses. Mr. Silva did with his words what the Russians were attempting to do in the novel with their money...a Russian laundromat. Do better, please.
