The publication date for The Fallen Angel  is finally here, and I have lots of news to share.

First, I’m happy to pass along a short piece that I wrote for The Wall Street Journal entitled “Needing (and Hating) Technology,” I hope you enjoy it.

I also want to remind everyone that in addition to my tour dates (which can be found here) I’ll be appearing on NBC’s Today show and Fox News Channel’s Hannity on July 17, as well as CBS This Morning on July 18. If I won’t be in your area this year I hope you’ll tune in to see me in your living room.

I’ve also just received good news regarding the audiobook edition of The Fallen Angel. The unabridged audiobook, performed by George Guidall, has been given an Earphones Award by AudioFile magazine. You can read the full review here, and the audiobook can be purchased anywhere audiobooks are sold.

The Fallen Angel, the next book in Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series, will be in bookstores everywhere on July 17th! And to thank you for your support, it’s my pleasure to give you this exclusive look at the full first chapter!

proximally Pre-Order Now: Many of you have ordered your copy already, but for those who haven’t, there are still a very limited number of signed first editions for sale at Barnes & Noble and you can order an unsigned copy from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, your local independent bookstore, and wherever else books are sold.

I’ll be launching the book and my tour on the Today show on the morning of July 17th. Make sure to visit the events page to find out if I’ll be in your area this year. I’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
