The main character of this Allan Topol novel is once again Craig Page the head of E U(European Union) counterterrorism agency. He still has his girlfriend
Elizabeth Crowder to help him out. He is challenged by another evil man named Musa Ben Abdil(Ahmed Sadi). His intentions are to create a Muslim uprising in Spain. He has a parchment falsified to help his effort. To help his effort he joins forces with another evil man General Zhou from the prefvious book. They plan to invade Southern Spain and make it the new Muslim empire. They are also able to obtain four missiles. They plan to shoot these at the Pope in the
Vatican on Easter Sunday. Craig Page has never faced a greater challenge. There is also room for a sequel in this book. Be sure to read this one.

The Spanish Revenge
3 Jan 2013
By Star @ The Bibliophilic Book Blog
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Allan Topol is back with Craig Page and Elizabeth Crowder in `The Spanish Revenge' after the events in `The China Gambit'. They are investigating the bombing of a train in Spain and as they dig deeper an unsavory and unwanted link is found between the Muslim bomber and Page's nemesis, General Zhou. This does not bode well for anyone! As fiction and fact combine, the results are an explosive thriller which will leave you breathless.
While `The Spanish Revenge' is more of a cerebral thriller than `The China Gambit' there is still plenty of action. Mr. Topol has an ingenious way of blending history and current political issues into an engaging storyline with captivating characters. I am eager to see how the final showdown unfolds in the next book!

The entire premise of the Spanish Revenge is absurd
1 Jan 2013
By J. Low
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Those of us who enjoy historical and contemporary thrillers with an emphasis on international intrigue are blessed with a surfeit of great contributors: Alan Furst, Phillip Kerr, Olen Steinhauer and, of course, the continuing contributions of John LeCarre. Allan Topol is not close to joining their ranks with his utterly unbelievable Craig Page novels. The basic premises of the Spanish Revenge defy credulity: an American heading a European agency; his girlfriend, a famous reporter, becoming an active participant in his activities; an invasion of Spain by an army of Islamist extremists. As if that werent enough, the characters are crudely drawn, amazingly clueless for such supposed heavyweights and not particularly likeable. In short, I was very disappointed and will not be buying another of these books. I recommend others do the same.
