I wasn't that interested in the beginning because of the terrorism aspect, but the way you brought out the strengths of the book has piqued my interest. Thank you for the review.

"East Wind, 2nd edition" by Jack Winnick is an interesting book with a story on how to end terrorism. I will read to know if Walid Jahangiri did help Lara and Uri to end terrorism.

After reading your review, I can see the plot from an eagle's view. The action-thriller story won't bore the readers. They have included the action plot by supporting the good background story. People who love action stories may enjoy this book.

The story just rolls off Jack Winnick’s pen. By chapter two he has already set the scene with the disturbing image of violence. From here on it’s an exciting, taught thriller, involving espionage and terrorism. We are rooting for Lara and Uri , and will the other man change sides ? Read the book to find out!

Thank you for sharing your insightful review of "East Wind" by Jack Winnick. Your detailed analysis of the characters and the plot provides a comprehensive overview of the novel's strengths and unique features.The dynamic between Uri Levin and Lara Edmond seems like a refreshing twist in the realm of special operations, especially given their backgrounds and the urgent threat they face from Hezbollah operatives.

It sounds like a great thrilling book about terrorism. I would like to read more about Walid to know whether will he remain faithful to his beliefs or help save lives. I love that the book is not predictable which makes reading more exciting.

The book is an exciting mix of made-up spy stuff and things that really happened, like bad guys from Hezbollah. The story is like a cool blend of fiction and real-life events, making it more than just your average spy tale. If you like spy stories with lots of action and meaning, this one's for you! Congrats on #BOTD!

Latest Review: Speak Up! Tell Your Story to Influence Others by Susana G Baumann

Post by Aida Nuria Montenegro Jerez »

"East Wind, Second Edition: Can the Team Foil the Plot to Blow Up American Cities?" is the first book in the Lara and Uri saga by writer Jack Winnick. In this, the two protagonists meet at their first job together after a terrorist attack that they must investigate. This novel, unlike the following ones in this same saga, does not constantly fall into biases or preconceived ideas, allowing the reader to enjoy a well-told story without becoming annoyed at every moment by that.
