Thank you for such an interesting review. If I were Walid, I will rather change sides and help Uri and Lara in their efforts to save innocent lives?

"East Wind" appears to be another great spy novel by Jack WInnock. I thoroughly enjoyed "Devil in False Colors" which is a later book in the series. It's fun to see Uri and Lara earlier in their careers. These very talented agents face many dangerous adventures in all of his books. Thanks for the great review!

"East Wind" by Jack winnick sounded just like the kind of action-packed terrorist-based thriller that I like to read. I have a feeling that I am going to enjoy reading this book. Thanks!

I am not a fan of espionage thrillers, but I always love a good budding romance in a thriller!
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Terrorism is a very sensitive topic as well as highly relevant and timely. To have this in a novel and get a high rating makes it more appealing and intriguing to read. It seemed to be a well-written book that promises an action-filled and suspenseful novel. Congrats!

I am not a fan of thrillers outside of it being on the screen. I read the sample but it did not peak an interest. Your review, however, would attract others to read if they do not read the sample first and thriller's are their thing. Thanks.

I'm sure that thrillers' fans will enjoy this intriguing book. I will add it to my shelf for the time when I feel closer to Uri and Lara's adventure. Excellent review! Thanks!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller following two government agents that team up to stop a potential nuclear terrorist attack. It seems like it might be worth a second look. Well done.

This seems like a great read in the thriller genre. It's good the book has realistic characters and the perspective shift seems natural. A good read for fans of terrorist and espionage thrillers. Thank you for the detailed review.

Reading about terrorism is not my cup of tea, as it is too similar to our present. Thanks for the review!
