Jack Winnick's Waterworks elevates tales of terrorism to a terrifying new plane. Not all weapons have the same terrifying power over a city as firearms and missiles. Poisoning of the water source poses a serious risk. The fact that science and technology are used in the real world makes an attack quite likely. The clear explanations of technological and scientific subjects make them easy to understand. Congrats on BOTD.

Your suggestion about providing translations for foreign phrases is thoughtful, offering a broader context for readers. Overall, your review makes a strong case for the book's engaging and masterful storytelling. Well done!

The suspenseful plot of "Waterworks" unfolds as Lara and Uri navigate a twisted web of terrorism. A race against time, misdirection, and personal struggles of undercover spies add a riveting layer to the story.

I consider Waterworks a thought-provoking and suspenseful read, with intricate plot twists and compelling characters. I praise the author's skillful world-building, and I can describe the book as "a page-turner that keeps you guessing until the very end." Some reviewers have noted that the book can be challenging to follow at times, due to its complex plot, but overall I consider it as an engaging and thought-provoking read. :techie-studyingbrown:

The book waterworks is an amazing copy. For starters, the author has given a vivid description of events that make them feel like his own personal experience. The book is a masterpiece of the real deal in the political world and how dirty a game it is. I just love it

Congratulations to BOTD!
The book is about military intelligence and security activities. The terrorist group poisoned the water system of a whole city to achieve its initial aim. if they can do this, what will they do next? I recommend the book to lovers of action and thrillers.

Jack Winnick's works are always so interesting. I read the first instalment of the series and I can’t wait to dive into the others.

Wow, this sounds like an action-packed and suspenseful story! It's clear that the plot is full of twists and turns, and the characters are facing challenges at every turn. The premise of a terrorist attack on a water facility is especially alarming and timely. I'm curious to know how the FBI agents will succeed in their mission, and how they will navigate the challenges of working independently

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel following two government agents, Lara and Uri, who after being informed of strange events surrounding a water processing and testing plant outside of Los Angeles, are tasked with investigating any potential terrorist involvement. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
