Spy and espionage stories are always filled with dangerous actions and suspense. I'd like to read this one.

I don't enjoy reading about terrorists and bombs etc. But for those who love this genre, it sounds like a really good read! Thanks for the review.

An espionage thriller revolving around two agents trying to thwart a terrorist ploy sounds exciting. Smooth switching perspectives, great background stories, and good plot add to the thrill. That it was well edited is another plus. I am not fond of An espionage tales or thriller based on terrorist threats, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

Doing justice to its genre, East Wind by Jack Winnick would certainly be a good read for those who enjoy thrillers based on terrorist threats, the joint action of government forces, high-level treason, and a budding romance amidst all the impending tragedy.
This sounds like a book I would be interested in reading. Great review!

This is such a fab review! I love the detail you’ve gone in to! This book is super interesting and the concept is so fab. Do you think this type of book would only appeal to a certain type of reader though?

Was this Party of God which was led by Hassan a Christian group or a terrorist group? Anyway the answer is taking a read for myself. Thanks for the informative review.

It sounds like an awesome thriller! This one does not appear to be like your typical thriller; this is one that I am interested in reading! Thank you for the honest review. :)

Although I do love books with great character development, I am not a fan of spy/espionage thrillers, so I will probably give this one a pass. I think the author made a wise choice in utilizing changing perspectives and extensive character development to set the book apart from others like it. Thanks for the great review!

Thanks for the review, I can't wait to find out what side Walid chooses. I like that the book is not that predictable and that the characters have excellent back stories.

East Wind by Jack Winnick is a thriller set in several countries, America, Egypt, and Israel to name a few. It is a fast moving story with many characters. Uri and Lara would be interesting stories to follow in the full book as they were quite intriguing in the preview. Congratulations on being the book of the day.

I love a thriller, but the terrorist plot is off putting to me. Thanks for the clarity.

Thank you for your review. I don't think this book is for me. I don't usually go for anything terror-related or spy novels. I can see that this would be an interesting read to many though.
