Official Review: East Wind, 2nd edition by Jack Winnick

[Bles]

East Wind, 2nd edition by Jack Winnick sounds really interesting but I think I will have to skip it because it's not my kind of read. However, I will recommend it to the lovers of such reads. Nice review.

Those who like spy novels will enjoy this book. It sounds like a good espionage thriller involving government treason and political intrigue. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review!

It sounds like the author has elevated the level of this thriller by writing such detailed characters. Should be a big hit with fans of this genre.

This isn't my genre so I I think I will pass on it. Espiange is not something that I enjoy reading.

[Stephanie Elizabeth]

This sounds like a great story full of action. I like that the author provides adequate backstories of the characters so the reader can see things from each perspective. While I am not really a fan of spy novels, this may have won me over by the promise of well-developed characters. Thanks for the great review!

This is an amazing review. The story itself is lip biting and one is readily able to follow through the unfoldings. I love the grammar and the story buildup. It has created suspense after susense. Congrats on being BOTD.

I love stories in which characters have major background stories. It builds up the story and characters great. Thanks for recommending the book.

Second try! As I was saying, I am familiar with the characters, I met them in another book where they had already married. So, it is the same ol' same ol', terrorism and secret services and love and romance.
What I am most interested in is to see how these shifting points of view are achieved, as compared to Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet for example.
The beginning is literally blowing, not just the mind but the brain too (sorry for the pun). Great review!

Great book though fiction it sounds like a great read. I love that the author was able to switch characters very often thus saving us from predictability of a novel. I love spy novel especially those aiming to fight terrorism.

[ciecheesemeister]

A concise and informative review. I do enjoy books in this genre and appreciate a strong female protagonist.

This novel exposes one of the threats of today's world, terrorism. It seems to stress more on spying. The Middle East have seen terrorists. Thanks for the review.

[María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda]

From my point of view, there are two main things that save this book from the otherwise predictable intrigue of a typical spy novel. Firstly, the author does a great job of switching the narrative perspective from one character to another, no matter if they belong to the defenders of justice or to those who threaten with chaos and destruction. Secondly, the characters have great background stories that make them quite realistic and help the readers understand the reasons behind their actions. What I liked most were precisely those moments when there was such a respite in the plot development. For example, Uri and Lara often exchange both personal and secret intelligence stories that do not only bring them closer, but also give the readers the chance to get to know them better.

Character development is so important but, unfortunately, it's often overlooked to favor action in this kind of thrillers. It's fascinating to get the perspective of both the "good" and the "bad guys".
It seems like a great read!
Thank you for your compelling review!

[Nizar Ali Shah]

This is a fictional thriller novel full of actions, espionage and mystery while emphasising teamwork and trust.it would certainly be a good read for those who enjoy thriller based on terrorist threat.

[Stephen Campana]

Sounds like a timely and intriguing spy novel about a very tricky subject -- U.S. support for Israel. I like that a little romance is thrown into the mix; I may give this one a read. Thanks for the review, cristinaro.
