The Iranian terrorists have just poisoned the water system in Los Angeles with polonium. The Homeland Security Department then quickly summons the presence of Lara and Uri, who have been on vacation, following their doctor's advice. This time around, each of the couple decided to secure employment roles in Tehran, disguising their real identities so that they could sneak inside the Iranians, get vital information, and give feedback to their home country, the U.S.A. While Lara and Uri are not amateurs in espionage and undercover matters, their disguised facial identities are at risk of being exposed. How will their quest turn out at the end of the day?

“Waterworks” by Jack Winnick is a story about the brave and sacrificial contribution of a couple, experts in espionage, amid terrorists' attacks, on their homeland.

The author of this book shows great story-telling expertise in this authentic plot. The plot is crafted so that it exudes a realistic touch. The author also brings uniqueness to the plot twist. This is because the book uses the attack on the water system to show how terrorism takes a toll on a nation. The writing style of the author grips, probably because of its vivid description of events and characters’ activities as they play their roles in the plot. Another factor that adds a realistic touch to the plot is the inclusion of historical background in the plot's setting. The book describes the building and physical features of the story's location.

I don't have anything to dislike about this book, as the writing style is expertly crafted to show scenes and the setting well, such that it exudes realistic happenings. I also did not find a grammar error in it, as it is exceptionally well-edited. Hence, I would rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. The book would be enjoyed by readers who love terrorist plots narrated in a thrilling and suspenseful manner.
