We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

Devil among us by Jack Winnick is a fiction work and mostly dedicated to those people who are a threat to the civilian population. Israel security forces also operate on the same lines whether it is Mossad, Shin Bet, Aman or other organizations. This book is based on many imagined events as it is a work of fiction. Here in this story Lara and Uri are a great team working together to identify the terrorists and bring justice. Congrats on BOTD and Thank for the review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this review. I've heard a lot about this series, and I am going to read it soon. Personally, I don't usually like action-packed books, but I'll definitely give it a try since this book portrays real-world conflicts between countries in an imaginative way. I involved terrorists so it may contains some graphic violence too.

I do not gravitate towards this genre of book too often but the premise of this series seems unique. I might have to go back and start it.

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

I particularly enjoyed your observations about how the novel goes beyond a simple spy thriller, incorporating elements of other genres and exploring complex political and social issues. Your point about the nuanced portrayal of different positions within Arab countries is especially interesting, and I agree that Winnick does a skillful job of weaving these complexities into the narrative without sacrificing the pace of the story.

A terrorist act was carried out, and Jewish members were held responsible. According to preliminary investigations, there was more to this. Lara and Uri collaborate for the second time to delve further. Interesting plot and in-depth analysis. Best wishes to the author.

Lara and Uri follow the evidence to Texas and then to Israel to stop the next attack. The masterminds of the plot are counting on uniting Sunni and Shia Muslims across the Middle East in an opportunity to completely destroy the nation of Israel. It is up to Lara and Uri to unravel the plot and reveal the true perpetrators before it's too late.
