"Waterworks" by Jack Winnick begins with a terrorist attack on the Los Angeles water system. Although Lar and Uri's relationship is moving towards starting a family, all plans will have to wait when duty calls. The book is professionally edited.

Even while trying to move on in life together, the job doesn't leave Lara and Uri. Waterworks brings another story of terrorism and clandestine operations in the heart of America. This time, the water supply was intended for mass genocide. This is a great story filled with action and thrill. Congrats on BOTD!!

I truly enjoyed your review, it was full of detail that is not in other reviews I've read, well done to a while new perspective.
Jack Winnick is truly an amazing author. The reality of his books, in general, is frighting due to the possibility that it can happen and in some cases already did. This however, I think is the one that scares me the most. If this becomes a reality and not noticed in time, the damage and death count will be immense.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller novel following two government agents, Lara and Uri, who after being informed of strange events surrounding a water processing and testing plant outside of Los Angeles, are tasked with investigating any potential terrorist involvement. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

"The book explores the theme of identity, particularly in relation to Lara's role as a female FBI agent. Lara is a strong, intelligent, and capable woman, but she is also conscious of the stereotypes and expectations that society has of her. She has to navigate the expectations of her career, while also being true to herself and her values.

Jack Winnick's Waterworks takes terrorism stories to a new level with the couple, Lara and Uri, who are married for less than two years. The plot is plausible due to the existence of science and technology in the real world.

I've heard about this series before, and I'm excited to learn how this one on a terrorist attack to poison water in the US unfolds. This book will surely appeal to readers interested in the political relations among Iran, Israel, and the US.
