Hi @Victoria Ukamaka, I just read your comments on the official review of "Devil in False Colors" and I agree with you that Winnick has the ability to interweave geopolitical issues in his 5-book terrorism series. While these books show what could happen, I hope that terrorists do not use them as a roadmap for future attacks. I found that some of the Tom Clancy books included events that were implemented in future attacks against the U.S. I have read all 5 of Winnick's books and I highly recommend them. He is an amazing writer and each book kept me on the edge of my seat while reading them. Definite page turners that are hard to put down after one reads the first chapter. @Mrlefty0706

The book is okay considering that the author highlights his understanding of what the world is facing right now due to terrorism. However, this kind of topics do not interest me as authors' opinions are always one_sided which may create public misunderstandings on a particular religion as the author generalises a particular group. Thank you

"Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick is a gripping novel that follows Uri Levin and FBI agent Lara Edmond as they investigate a tragic massacre at a Jewish preschool in California. I like the fact that the book's standout feature in its geopolitical outlook, incorporating historical events and pressing issues like terrorism and Iran's nuclear threat.

"Devil in False Colors" by Jack Winnick sounds like a gripping thriller with a deep geopolitical backdrop! 📚 The integration of historical events into the plot adds an intriguing layer of realism, and the exploration of pressing issues like religiously motivated terrorism and geopolitical tensions makes it even more compelling. I'm particularly intrigued by the dynamic between the main characters, especially Lara's strong and independent personality. Despite some politically charged viewpoints, I'm eager to delve into this fast-paced read and uncover the twists and turns of the investigation. With its well-developed characters and engaging storyline, I'm confident it will be a captivating journey! ⭐ 🌎🔍

Hi @Lunar gate, I just read your comments on the official review of "Devil in False Colors" and the heinous acts committed by the terrorists are hard to read but when I think about what happened in Gaza two months ago when so many innocent people were murdered during the Palestinian rebel attack on innocent Jews, I realize that these atrocities are occurring in the world around us. Jack Winnick is an excellent writer and I have read all five of his books and I highly recommend all five of them. I think the Lara and Uri team really enhances the novels. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Christa Joshua, I just read your comments on the official review of "Devil in False Colors" and I agree it is a geopolitical thriller. One has to wonder if there will ever be peace in Israel or will the hate speech and senseless killing continue until The End Days? I have read all five of Jack Winnick's terrorism series and I can see how these fictional stories could actually happen in the world around us. I highly recommend all five well-written books. I found them to be page turners that I could not put down after reading the first chapter of each book. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @sanjeev Maurya, I just read your comments on the official review of "Devil in False Colors" and I agree with your thorough review. I have read all five of Jack Winnick's terrorism series and each one begins with a fast paced first chapter that includes heinous atrocities to innocent people. The murder of innocent children is hard to stomach but it sure got my attention. I found the book to be a geopolitical thriller that was hard to put down. What a page turner from cover to cover. I highly recommend all five books. @Mrlefty0706

I am not into this genre of books, but I enjoyed reading your review. Thank you! I am intrigued by the depiction of historical and politically nuanced backgrounds, as you mentioned. I think that will be informative. I may pick up the book to read about that aspect, perhaps.

One of my favorite things about this book is the role that culture and language play in guiding the story. Uri’s undercover alias was particularly interesting, posing as a Lebonese convict in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood outside Los Angeles. I'm not really into Islamic religion but the book introduces the religious genre in a unique way!

This book like it won't just have suspense but also be very educative. I didn't know there were subsets of Muslims and now I am interested in learning about this. Congratulations on BOTD.
