It is good action thriller and by plotting the early lives of uri and lara the author gave a realistic touch to the story. This novel throughs light on terrorist activities across the world. How they educate/exploit their people into terrorism and on the other hand how others choose to fight them. Really an interesting book to read.

I was immediately pulled into the story and shocked by the few sample pages I read on Amazon. I want to read all the books I can find by Jack Winnick now. It was intriguing, exciting, and it was insight into a world that is totally foreign from my own. Fascinating.

The featured review was well done, but I was surprised that the author was slowly drawn into the story. The action is so intense and realistic. If I owned the book, I doubt I could put it down. I agree with the reviewer though; I also want to follow the series.

It sounds like the author did a good job of putting together a thrilling puzzle of espionage, terrorism, propaganda and romantic attraction. While I'm not really into thrillers, you wrote a great, informative review!

Come to think of it. It also tackles some sensitive issues in our society. The complexity of the book make the readers get intriguing opinion and questions. Goodluck to Uri and Lara's next mission.

I enjoyed the free sample for this book. I really like thrillers and this reminded me of the Mitch Rapp thrillers. Espionage and interesting characters have made this a good book and I would like to read the whole book. I do not have Kindle Unlimited so I will need to purchase a copy.

It is a thriller book which is a bit different from traditional ones. Those who enjoy reading thriller books from all genres should give it a try.

Terrorism electronic traffic is interesting. One thing I like of Winnick's plot is the way he laid out the plot. It seems real.

With a plot of terrorism and joint international co-operation this book clearly looks to be more that just another by the books spy thriller. It is specially interesting that the author chooses to switch between characters giving the book multiple perspectives and provide different angles to the narrative simultaneously. Your review shows that the author has managed to retain suspense and mystery till the very climax making it a definite read. Thank you.

Interesting review! I enjoy reading thrillers and this book sounds like fun. I wonder what choice Walid will make eventually. Sitting on the fence couldn't have been easy for him.
