It sounds like this is a really well-written spy novel! I love narrative switching, and especially appreciate thoroughly developed characters. Thanks for the compelling review!

"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." This is my first time reading about this style of writing. Thank you for mentioning this point! I'm adding this book to my shelves.

I like the approach to handling terrorism in this book. But the murder scene is grotesque.

This sounds a lot more black and white which things like this rarely are. I'm not usually into thrillers like this for that reason so I'll probably give this one a miss. Great review though, sounds like fans of the genre will love it!

I like the way you added leading questions to grab a reader's attention. I am not a fan of books that involve terrorism so I am passing on this BOTD. The sampling I read didn't grab my attention but I believe that your review was way more enlightening for me.

A life-and-death situation and a countdown race to stop terrorism is found in an espionage thriller "East Wind, 2nd edition" by Jack Winnick, which follows Uri Levin, a member of Special Operations arm of the Israeli Mossad and Lara Edmond, a FBI agent. The story appears quite interesting.

A very detailed review. I was not interested in reading this book until I read this review. It seems like a good spy novel with both tragedy and romance in it.

To me, the realistic portrayal of characters is the best part of this book. Their background story, and further character development is great.

I am glad that you mentioned the book wasn't overly graphic. The prologue described brains splattering over a family portrait and skin being torn from a body, so I was hesitant to make a decision to read it.
