From the review, I can feel that this write-up is engaging which centres around Uri Levin and Lara Edmond who disguised themselves to get first-hand information about the terrorists that want to invade American territory. Congrats on the BOTD and a well-written review.

I'm a fan of Action Thriller and Mystery! I believed ', Waterworks follows normal Sequence of twist and turn common to such sug genre of Fictional work! Beyond that I think the Novelist wanted us to appreciate the work of our Intelligence who put their lives on line just for us to be safe especially the danger involved in their undercover 's work.They are indeed 'The Unsung heroes 'whose effort should be appreciated rather than focusing only on those in the Battlefront, forgetting those aat the background deciding outcome of things through the intelligence they provided.

I had come to know of Jack Winnick's works sometime last year when one of his books was featured as the "Book of the Day" on Onlinebookclub.org, and I purchased the first three installments in the series. From a handful of reviews, his reputation preceded him, and I wasn't disappointed. It was a welcome surprise to find a review opportunity for the last two installments. Like the previous books, the focus of the story is on the heroic secret agents Lara and Uri, now a married couple.
Reviewer has good experience with this Author, Also from review it seems as a promising Amarican Agent Thriller... will definitely go through few pages.

Unbelievable!, I hope that the investigation to find out if the act was an Iranian terrorist attack true then such crimes must not be taken likely. However it's is not always that your enemy will be far from you, the FBI must search within too.Great review.

Waterworks

I enjoyed reading Waterworks. Being that I have a military background I was able to see gow the author viewpoint of intelligence and counterterrorism. The government does not always reveal what’s happening so to see someone talking about certain things, I will always give a thumbs up. For me, I believe that having a criminal justice background Im intrigued. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for your great review. I also like how Lara and Uri make a great team both personally and professionally. I haven't read this one, but I think I'm getting closer to being able too. Maybe someday there will be part 2 of this series or a new one. Perhaps he misses this series too.

This is a crime book that features Uri and Lara who are given an assignment by the Department of Homeland Security to infiltrate Iranian military intelligence due to another attack they may intended to launch after the previous polonium attack at the Los Angeles Aqueduct Filtration Plant. The book characters are well developed and the book contains great suspense. Nice review.

The tension thickens as Lara, disguised as Daria Haddad, deciphers the intricate world of Iranian military intelligence within the walls of "the Castle," while Uri, now Heydar al-Nabi, navigates the digital landscape of the Ministry of Defense Auxiliary, both teetering on the edge of exposure.

"The author didn't take his time to end the book well" from the review. Did I get it right that the author somehow did not complete the fullness of the happy closing of the story by not letting the reader know if the couple had a baby? Or was it really a complete "hang" on a part of the main plot of the story (sometimes intentional for a sequel preparation, even presumably the last book)? I also know the works of the author. And I am sure it has a lot of suspense. If it was the case that a reader would like to know the " baby part", I could see that a romantic tickle is in the story. That would be nice! If not, I believe that the suspense in development is enjoyable although the review says it is not as it had been in the other books because of the details. But still, the book has the maximum rating and it is as intense and as enjoyable as the previous ones according to the review. Nice!

Well-written and intriguing review. I noticed that Jack Winnick's books are highly rated by the Online Book Club. I am not really a fan of political thrillers, but will give this series a chance. Thank you for the review.

Latest Review: Sooner Secrets by Shelley L. Levisay

Post by Kibet Hillary »

The story sounds really enthralling, and the fact that the couple is facing threats even while undercover makes the whole reading experience thrilling. The apparent weakness of Uri and the carefulness of Lara make the two a nice combo; it would be hard to believe them if they only showed strengths and no weaknesses. Thanks for the review.
