Great Review! I loved this book. I would have never thought I would enjoy a book about war, fighting and terrorism. The book is exciting and a great read for anyone who enjoys fast action thrillers.

The truth is that it will take a strong-willed individual to jettison a deeply rooted belief. I hope Walid chose the noble path so that innocent people will not suffer. Congrats on BOTD. Great review.

I’m interested if Uri and Lara will be able to convert Walid to their side before terrorism causes damage and death to the society. I like action packed and suspense filled novel and this right up my alley.

I have not read any of Jack Winick's book but I've read some reviews on some of his books in this series. I see one feature, common to them, which i found interesting. And that is the action element of the book. Furthermore, i also anticipate what would be the fate of Walid in the end of the story.

Great review. Truly gives enough of a description to determine whether or not the book would be the right read for you. If you are not one that enjoys action and suspense then you would know if this is a book you would want to read. If you love realistic action and suspense it may be the perfect read. Thank you for the thorough review.

I recently read this book and found it to be quite enjoyable. The story development was particularly engaging. As someone who appreciates spy thrillers in both book and movie form, I highly recommend giving this book a chance. It's an easy read and the relationship between Uri and Lara further lightens the narrative.

I agree that the author had a keen attention to detail when writing the book. It was enthralling and paced in a way that hooked you. I was captivated by the character and scenes depicted. Truly a great piece of literature.
