While the book sounds intriguing, the thriller genre is not my usual preference, so I'll pass. However, I appreciate your thoughtful review and the effort you put into sharing your perspective. It seems like East Wind has a lot to offer for enthusiasts of this genre.

A commendable, well-written review from Cristina Chifane, thank you. I read the Amazon sample of East Wind 2nd Edition by Jack Winnick and was once again reminded, having read other thrillers from this author that there will always be a huge appeal for the Uri and Lara series. A perfect combination of chilling terrorist threats, high-level treason, and a budding romance will ensure Winnick's books take centre stage in the spy-thriller genre. Congratulations on the #BOTD award.

Hunting down terrorists sounds exciting, but when thousands of lives are at stake, the story is not just a story, it becomes a reading experience that both captivates and enthralls.
