Daniel Silva, author of Moscow Rules, The Assassin and The Rembrandt Affair, is the latest writer of bestselling spy fiction to catch journalist’s ears. In the midst of the ongoing revelations about the Russian spies caught in the United States, Silva was quoted in an op-ed piece by the Huffington Post’s Keith Thomson:

Bestselling Thriller Novelist Daniel Silva
Part of the American psyche is that we think we can just use our superior technology and machines, and that’s not always the case. A spy satellite can tell you what’s going on at any moment. A human spy can tell you wesphat’s going to happen. Americans will be wise to keep in mind that the Russians are engaging in these activities against us for a reason.
Over the years, fellow spy thriller novelists Brad Thor, Tom Clancy and Vince Flynn, among others, have often been called upon by journalists to comment during espionage and military-related news cycles. Brad Thor moonlights as a writer for conservative site BigGovernment.com.
This is a pretty good thriller movie. I have seen your lists that you do on this site. Have you seen this best thriller movies list? It has some pretty good obscure ones on there too that you should check out or create your own list?
Silva is pretty good, yeah. He deserves more attention than the Thors, Baldaccis, etc.
