As with all the Lara and Uri books, this is not for me as I have no interest in reading books about terrorism, especially with what seems to be anti-Islam propaganda vibes.

Waterworks by Jack Winnick is a suspense-filled novel about a terror attack on the nation's drinking water. Eddie's discovery of the dead fish and the birds near the water plant marks the beginning of a nail-biting event in the book. The poisoning which causes devastating effects on humans will have the FBI summon Lara and Uri to investigate and possibly prevent another attack. Just like with all of Winnick's books, it will be a fascinating read for all. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Everyone’s worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there’s really an easy way: Stop participating in it.

Once again the BOTD. The reviewer is right, crisp tone to a narration is fun to read. Also, Jack's knack for mixing fact and fiction is commendable. I can particularly relate to the book since india has been targeted by terrorists over the decades.

Jack Winnick snap back the couple to one more thrilled mission which will more stirring to read. The outline of the review well stated that no one can even think a terrorism without a actual weapon and how the science and technologies exploited in a bad way.

Jack Winnick's 'Waterworks' in the Lara and Uri series is a gripping addition to the collection. The twist of tackling terrorism through water supply poisoning adds a unique and chilling dimension. The suspenseful narrative, coupled with the agents' need to navigate misdirection, creates a riveting storyline.

Yeah no doubt water poisoning is a plausible threat! But what is even more intriguing is that if something like this were to occur in the real world, we'd have to rely on a duo or group of people to save mankind. The pressure on Lara and Uri to save the world must have been immense. This definitely sounds like a book that would keep me on the edge of my seat.

I love how Jack Winnick uses his skills to express what's really happening in the real world. On the book, having the couples work independently can be hectic to them but will definitely yield good results. Can't wait to finish the book and find out more

“Waterworks” by Jack Winnick is a fictional well-written exciting story about a terrorist attack on the Los Angeles water supply. Teams of terrorists that were members of an Iranian anti-American group added Polonium to the water supply by dropping it in the water from bridges in socks that they used to bring the poison into the U.S. Lara and Uri were already in Los Angeles on vacation so they were deployed to track down the terrorists and find their leader in Iran. This is an action thriller that readers do not want to put down until the last page. This book is Jack Winnick’s 5th book in this series and all of his books are excellent. I highly recommend this book.
