Thanks for the detailed review! It is organized and presents its points well. I particularly enjoyed how the review ended by giving readers a chance to evaluate if the contents of the book match well with their reading preferences and I realized that it's a helpful tool for readers to know what kind of person will enjoy the book. I will definitely keep it in mind for my next review, thanks again!

This book seems so interesting and could always leave a reader in suspense. The most interesting part to me is where these to characters Lara and Uri teams up against a terrorist attack, while still managing a romantic relationship. Thumbs to the author, to me, its a "must read". Thanks.

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

Jack Winnick's books have a way that blends fiction and fact to bring out controversial books. Considering that many countries have tried to terrorise India with more damage done than the 9/11, I find this book highly relevant. Terrorism should not be supported or dismissed. I loved how you explained the plot in the review.

So far in my short existence, I've come to understand that it's always straightforward to choose in life. This is because you'll only be asked to choose between good and not-so-good. If you want to be a good person, you'll always choose good I hope Walid chose to be good.

This review is so amazing because right now I'm going to get this book as soon as possible to read it.
"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." This here actually got me because I want to know the respite in the plot development.

I do love a book with different pov; it gives us so much more to think about. I also like that it deviates from the typical spy story

Torrist threats are the worse and when government and a special organisation helps dealing with these kind of situations. It becomes an amazing book. Thank you for this.

The Uri and Lara series is such an intriguing series which are always written in a stand alone format and sometimes, I tend to confuse which series came before which. But all the same, it sounds like Walid is in a dilemma in this case, and I do hope that he makes the right decision. Congratulations on BOTD!!

East Wind by Jack Winnick is the first book in the Lara and Uri series. Filled with thrilling scenes, like the one at the beginning in Ed's Condo, it will keep the readers hooked. Lovers of action and suspense will enjoy this book a lot because it is a crucial part of it. The author has done an excellent job researching and narrating scenes, especially the ones with the terrorists. Congratulations on the BOTD!
