I enjoy thrillers based on terrorist threats with a touch of romance in it. Definitely, this would be a good read for me. Informative review.

Thanks for the review, but I'm not into espionage thrillers, or any stories with terrorists, so I will not be reading this.

This looks like a fictional thriller novel full of action, espionage, and mystery. The review makes it appealing too and I think it should make a good read. Thank you for sharing your thorough review.

I’m a stickler to reading in order series. But I am excited to read this. A thrilling read with mystery and romance all the while trying to defeat the terrorist. Congrats on BOTD.

Terrorist stories can be scary! I would rather prefer to see it as a movie than read in a book. Thanks for the review

I love that the characters have realistic backstories. That element of this book definitely gives it the depth that some espionage thrillers lack. Thanks for the great review!

A story of a terrorist threat, in which one of the main characters was indoctrinated by Hezbollah, but has been living in the United States and has seen for himself another version of Western life. It looks like an interesting book.

I am not a fan of books about terrorism. While I can certainly understand the conflict one would feel if one was raised with the teachings of Hezbollah, then assimilated into Western society, such books just feel too real for my liking. I will have to pass on this one.

Fast Wind, 2nd edition by Jack Winnic, has successfuly managed by switching the narrative perspective from one character to another.Tackling different facets of events and story tells us that such series of events can not be one way traffic and the author has also given it a personal touch.Now a days terrorism is an international issue.Those who are interested in thriller and espionage field can enjoy it.

I love when the characters each have interesting backstories, rather than just the protagonist. I'm always wary about books with switching perspectives, since I find it so often done awkwardly, but thanks to your thoughts I might give this one a look. Thank you for your review.

Fantastic review! This genre is right up my alley, and the plot sounds too good to pass up.

I really like Books which switch narrative perspective since we get a character development in a better way. Terrorism is such a threat these days which is a important issue to discuss. A tad bit of romance just adds cherry on the topping.
