Hi @ IreneDe, as you have found Jack Winnick is a very descriptive writer. One can visualize what is happening and what the characters look like. This Jack's first book on terrorist acts committed by Hezbollah in the U.S. I found this book and the other four books are all page turners that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The horrendous killing my bother your stomach but the evil perpetrators getting caught and punished will settle your mind and body. I think you will enjoy all five of Jack's books and I hope Jack writes a few more to add to this series. @Mrlefty0706 @JackWinnick @JWinnick1

This is quite different from the genres I usually prefer but a quick look at it and I understand why it captures a readers attention. It dives deep into a person's thinking and reasoning for action while also presenting a bigger background picture. It sure is interesting and can't wait for the sequel. Thank you for a wonderful review.

Hi @Aliu Oladimeji, I would love to see East Wind become a movie. The terrorist threats coming from the middle east could happen so I would fear that a movie might give terrorist more ideas since they probably have not read the books. I doubt the books have been written in Arabic. Being a Tom Clancy fan, I have noticed that some of the Clancy books are based on threats that had not happened when the book was written but happen at a later date. I guess I should be careful what I wish should be filmed as a movie but there are enough crazy people in the world that probably think about these threats and try to copy them. Thanks for reading my response. @Mrlefty0706 @jackwinnick @jwinnick1

Hi @Anil Sod, I really liked your very positive comments on the official review. I have read all five of Jack Winnick's terrorist books and they are all page turner that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. I hope Jack adds more books to the series. @Mrlefty0706 @jackwinnick @jwinnick1

Hi @Faith Achieng 3, I highly recommend all five of Jack Winnick's books on terrorist attacks in the U.S. While these books are fiction, the attacks are possible and we need to be on guard at all times. The books are very descriptive and are all page turners that have kept me on the edge of my seat. They are hard to down and Lara and Uri are incredible agents that do not stop until they have found the perpetrators and their leader and eliminate them or bring them to justice. I hope Winnick adds new books to this series. @Mrlefty0706 @Jackwinnick @jwinnick1

Hi @Chinaza Blessing Ogbonna, your comments on East Wind indicate that you really like Jack Winnick's style, the characters and the plot. Having read all five of Winnick's books I can tell you that you will love them all and I highly recommend them. You do not need to read them in order but I did and the relationship between Lara and Uri continues to develop so I suggest you read them in order. I hope Jack adds new books to the series and it would be great to see these books become blockbuster movies. @Mrlefty0706 @jackwinnick @jwinnick1

An espionage thriller revolving around two agents trying to thwart a terrorist ploy sounds exciting. Smooth switching perspectives, great background stories, and good plot add to the thrill. That it was well edited is another plus. I am not fond of An espionage tales or thriller based on terrorist threats, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

We meet a man called Ed, living the life, making filter coffee and feeling good. The end of the chapter puts chills up my spine, and with the cover image still fresh in my mind I’m in two minds as to whether to read on. This book is not, perhaps, for the faint hearted.

In this espionage thriller the author ficuses on terrorist threats, high level treason, joint action of intelligent forces and a budding romance. Lara and Uri Come together to thwart the plans of Hezbollah in the US soil. Walid Jahangiri indoctrinated by Hezbollah is summoned to carry out this plan. A well deserved review.

In the espionage thriller directed by Jack Winnick, the East Wind is associated with a race against time to avert a terrorist plot that could ultimately force Israel to launch "Ekdikeo," a massive nuclear attack against its adversarial neighbors' capitals. Thank you for your very detailed review.

A fantastic action thriller story featuring a Mossad agent and a FBI agent can be found in the book "East Wind, 2nd edition" by Jack Winnick, who fight against imminent threat of nuclear bombing.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.
