I am a spy-thriller enthusiast and this book is definitely up my alley. I was enthralled by the sample and cannot wait to read more about the mysteries of the poisoned water. Thank you for the well-structured and inclusive review.

I have read the free sample before, and all I can say is that it picques my interest. The author really knows how to captivate you from the word go, and I am always sitting there wanting more. I can't wait discover what Lara and Uri find out about the filtration facility and how it may be connected with Iranian terrorism. Thank you so much for the well-written review! Happy reading :techie-studyinggray:

At the moment, I'm not too keen on reading spy thrillers involving terrorism. However, I agree with your assessment that the details in the book are realistic. I'm sure that much of the technology we believe to be science fiction is, in fact, already in existence today.

Thank you for your review.

The story of Lara and Uri has advanced. They're finally together. Though their intelligence services now profit Israel's Mossad, helping the U.S. combat terrorism would always tickle their fancy.

Jack Winnick has done an excellent job of developing two household characters, Lara and Uri. Now they're tasked with a dangerous mission to infiltrate Iran to ascertain their involvement in the radiation poisoning in the Los Angeles Aqueduct Filtration Plant. Let's see how they pull this one off.

Latest Review: The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings

Post by Ntalasha1997 »

One fear of books is that it should stand out. I felt like it is something I have read and watched before. I didn't appreciate the specifics of nationality. It added racism and politics to the book. Words have power to stir emotions therefore the storyline is sensitive. However, for a book that made use of real current events it was not boring. I did not like reading it that much.

As a standalone and book 5 in the Lara and Uri series, it is Worthy of note to commend Jack W for an excellent job. I enjoy International terrorist thrillers. Thanks for the review.

An incredible act of Valor by the two hero, Lara and Uri. The story is even ore scary as the author states that these bioterorism can happen due to availability of the materials. I just hope it doesn't, well congrats on BOTD.

The Lara and Uri series have been a favorite this year. Waterworks is another intriguing read in this series. Espionage and terrorism are major themes in the story and very interesting. Great review!
