East Wind written by Jack Winnick is one of the most suspenseful plots I have had the joy of reading, within the past several years.

Uri is an agent of one of the most secret levels of Mossad intelligence. Lara is an expertly trained FBI field agent who is also highly skilled in the world of computers. These two individuals must work together in hopes to take town a terrorist cell who is hell bent on destroying Jews by means of forcing the United States to abandon their long time ally, Israel.

Muslim Israel hating terrorists have infiltrated the United States by way of posing as college students in high tech fields such as Nuclear Engineering. They are smart and very patient, taking years to formulate a plan which threatens to level several population dense cities, unless the United States ceases to support Israel. Without the support of the United States, Israel stands to be annihilated completely.

Can Lara and Uri use their combined skills to find the terrorist cell before they level any more U.S. cities? Will they get any lucky breaks along the way to help them in their search for this terrorist cell, before hundreds of thousands more Americans lose their lives? What does Israel have as a defense system in case Lara and Uri fail to catch the terrorists before the United States is forced to withdraw their support?

Overall I rate East Wind 4 out of 4 stars. Jack Winnick was unknown to me prior to me reading East Wind and I am happy to say I've found a new author to quench my thirst for action packed, politically inspired stories. The technical details regarding the bombs used for the terrorist plots as well as how the materials were shipped and obtained, was very well thought out and educated. Which is what one would expect for and author who has a background in chemical and nuclear engineering.

There is a passionate spark between Lara and Uri which I found a bit expected, but the romance is but a small piece of the action of the book. I was quite happy to have a book of this type have little romance and absolutely no erotica, and for it to also be very toned down as far as any vulgar language is concerned. There is but one swear word in the whole book, which is quite refreshing.

Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to add another author to the list of those whose books I can count on for a action, suspense, political intrigue and technical knowledge.
