This book is nothing short of amazing. With a thick plot like this, it's definitely going to pull you in by every inch. The problems surrounding Lara and Uri's work of fighting terrorists continues. I feel they should retire and focus on raising their family.

The book sounds great. I love a good fast paced thriller novel. The author's storytelling is impressive. Exploring the frightening possibility of water supply poisoning. Terrorism is not limited to the use of bombs and guns. This severe threat sounds almost too realistic. I'm not sure I'd like to enjoy the series regarding the current situations that are still happening. The world will never be peaceful enough for everyone. Thank you for an amazing review.

I am intrigued by how the government was able to identify that the sock originated from Iran given the fact that socks are a common item being manufactured throughout the world.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

When handling such a high-stakes profession, it must be super hard to have a balanced personal life. I hope Lara and Uri get to start their family. Great review!

The book talks about the issue of the use of polonium in a failed attempt to contaminate the water supply in Los Angeles with this radioactive substance capable of killing and destroying millions of residents.
A terrorist act carried out by Iranian terrorists, which led the United States to conduct investigations by assigning a former FBI agent.
Lara Edmond and her husband, Uri Levin, a Mossad agent, go undercover to the headquarters of Iranian government institutions on the grounds that they are specialists in the field of technology.
While hiding inside Iran, the spies discovered new plans for a similar attack on a water station in Northern California.

'Official Review: Waterworks' by Jack Winnick presents a vivid and appealing account of the action thriller story for readers. It is a concise summary of the book about terrorism for readers. The point that the water supply is a severe threat as science and technology exist in the real world is worth mentioning in the review. Furthermore, the review states that the straightforward descriptions of the scientific and technological topics in the book are simple to understand. Also, as mentioned in the review, the references to real-world occurrences offer sufficient background that makes the plot seem more believable. It was great to learn that those interested in the political relations between Iran, Israel, and the US should explore the book!

I find this book fascinating and can't wait to discover what poses a greater threat than weapons and how they'll uncover those responsible for water pollution. Your review captures the essence exceptionally well

Without a doubt, any thriller book written by Jack Winnick will leave the reader happy. It sounds like his fifth and final book of this series continues the realistic view of spies fighting terrorism and their lifestyle. Great review!

Fantastic review. Lara and Uri , married less than 2 years are eager to start a family. But their agent duties never let them have their personal time. They embark on a mission to find terrorists who contaminated the water . They work independently, to find the correct information and save themselves from misleading news. Jack Winnick's book is perfect blend of action, adventure and mystery.

I wonder how and why the terrorists feel they can operate by contaminating waterways. Either ways, they should be brought to justice and I think Lara and Uri are up to the task. I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

Terrorism is a serious and real threat that can affect anyone and anything, and that it requires courage, intelligence, and cooperation to prevent and stop it. The book teaches the readers to appreciate the value of life, water, and peace, and to be aware of the dangers and complexities of the world. Congrats on #BOTD!

Thank you for another great review. I do enjoy Mr. Winnick's style of writing and how it keeps the suspense up throughout. I agree that he writes so it is easy to understand. I haven't read this one since I worked at a water company earlier, but perhaps I'm getting enough distance from that time that soon I will be able to read it. I'm glad you are enjoying these books. I did enjoy the one I read and am glad they are each a standalone.

Post by Rukayya Yusuf Hameed »

In the fifth installment of the Lara and Uri series, the married agents are eager to start a family but face a challenging mission from the FBI. During their vacation, they are summoned to investigate a suspected terrorist group that has allegedly poisoned the Los Angeles water system. Despite their popularity and past successes, Lara and Uri must work independently and disguise their identities. The plot unfolds as they discover another impending attack on a water facility, with both terrorists and freedom fighters spreading misinformation. "Waterworks" by Jack Winnick explores a new level of horror in terrorism stories, highlighting the threat of water supply poisoning. The narrative provides straightforward explanations of scientific and technological topics, making it easily understandable.
The book offers an unconventional approach to terrorist actions, appealing to fans of action-packed international espionage.
