I love a book with immersive characters and if you include a thriller storyline, it becomes irresistible. I appreciate how you were able to summarise all the things you liked about the book, it’s very helpful.

It seems pretty easy to want to root for the characters, Lara and Uri, from reading all of these reviews. It appears to be intense and fast paced and absolutely enjoyable. Once again I find myself needing to read the Lara and Uri series. I have to read this soon. Congrats on BOTD!

"Waterworks" by Jack Winnick. An interesting book, talks about the Department of Homeland Security giving Uri and Lara an assignment to attack Iranian military. Uri and Lara both went as an undercover, both have changed names and a changed identity. Action packed with suspense. Congrats on your #BOTD.

A nice geopolitical fiction story featuring Lara and Uri Levin can be found in the book "Waterworks" by Jack Winnick. I think the story is very much thrilling to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

From the sample, I also find the honest and brutal portrayal of geo politics appealing. The author was not afraid to shade light on the darker sides of governments. Can't wait to read the book considering the review makes it feel like the book is definitely worth the purchase.

This is an interesting novel. Lara and Uri were sent to apply for job in the Iranian military operation and of course they were both employed.
Lara as employed as a cryptologist for General Gharoub and also Uri as IT specialist. You really need to read this novel, it's worth it.
Congrats on BOTD!

Winnick has created a fabulous duo in Lara and Uri, and I hope that some production studio will eventually create an episodic television program featuring their exploits. I would undoubtedly binge on that series!

"Waterworks" represents the fifth installment in the Lara and Uri Series of international thrillers by Jack Winnick. The story commences with a foiled attempt by Iranian terrorists to contaminate the Los Angeles water supply with nearly undetectable amounts of polonium, a man-made radioactive compound with the potential to bring about mass casualties. In response to the thwarted threat, Lara Edmond and Uri Levin heed the call to confront the terrorists. They embark on an undercover mission, assuming roles as high-tech professionals, and delve deep into the inner workings of Iranian governmental institutions.

Their primary objective is to acquire damning intelligence and incite internal turmoil within the terrorist-led state. While concealed within this clandestine world, Lara and Uri inadvertently stumble upon plans for a similar attack targeting an alternative water source in northern California. A race against time ensues to determine which side will emerge victorious, although readers with familiarity with the preceding novels may already have a clear sense of the likely outcome.
