The threat of terrorism is back. Plans are being developed on how to obliterate a nation and murder innocent citizens. In what way will this be ruined? Israeli’s agent in Lebanon, Uri Levin, recently returned from a mission there. One of the last few surviving Metsada (the Special Operations, often known as Mossad to others) agents is Uri. He also serves as the leader of the Kidon, a highly classified organization that is responsible for “captures and assassinations in the neighboring Arab countries.” Computer-savvy agent Lara Edmond is from the United States. She is responsible for keeping an eye on questionable online activity. The forthcoming terrorist strike is the focus of Lara and Uri's joint assignment. They become closer and get to know one another better via their work together. To learn more about their experiences, read East Wind, Second Edition.

First of all, I really appreciate how good a storyteller the author is here. It's captivating. The reader cannot become lost. Being a history enthusiast, I appreciate how Mr. Jack Winnick took his time to describe the details of the war's early history. It aids readers in determining who is and is not at fault. I might infer from the stories being presented that the British, in general, broke their promises to other nations. And other wars are breaking out as a result. The Arabs are also much to blame for this. The most important thing to understand, both then and now, is that not everyone will accept your religion. So learning to live together peacefully is great for everyone. We should thus refrain from inciting violence in the name of the Holy One. These factors led me to give this 5 out of 5 stars.

The bit that shocked me was when the Jihadists believed they would have virgins to enjoy in the afterlife if they gave their lives to slaughter others. I used to believe that this was a regional phenomenon. I was unaware that it is universal. I hope that the young men will be educated and made to realize that life is about more than starting wars, using violence, and murdering innocent people in order to be known as the ones who killed the most people.

Furthermore, I have nothing negative to say about this book. But I do hope that there is no harm in revealing the extensive information presented here to the public that anyone can read it, especially the sections on making bombs. Although it isn't mentioned in the book as a warning, I find it curious. While reading, I didn't notice any mistakes. This has therefore been exceptionally edited.

I'll recommend this to fans of the action series. This is for you if you enjoy reading historical fiction about wartime. Even if there may be too much information for you to process, they are nonetheless enjoyable. Readers who enjoy romance novels may also enjoy this. Enjoy!

I keep getting amazed by the extent of what these terrorists would do just to kill people. The doctrines and teachings that were given to them are annoying. Jack’s series is amazing and the actions were top notch.

I wonder where the author got the inspiration he used in writing this book because the actions in this book were exhilarating and full of humor. Jack Winnick is indeed a great author

This book comes with a lot of suspense. Young adults like Lara and Uri working together would trigger emotions I was sure about that. Let's see how they play along.

According to the assessment, there is a lot of action and excitement here. Everyone benefits when we learn to coexist harmoniously. As a result, we ought to abstain from calling for violence in the name of the Holy One. Nice review!

I've realized that Jack Winnick's books are always about terrorism. It's so sad that the things he wrote about them could be actually what they do in real life. I'll like to read this book. Great review.

I like the book cover. I love how the cover show illustration of wars. Without reading the novel, one can certainly know what it entail by just looking at the cover.
