Are you interested in action-filled, enthusiastic novels? If so, the book Waterworks is an option to be considered by you. It was written by Jack Winnick. The book is a fictional terrorism thriller. It was about racism. The two main characters in it, Lara and Uri, were American agents trained to fight their enemies in different ways.

The author wrote about two different countries, America and Iran, who were at supposed war with each other due to the differences in their religious beliefs. There was a plot by Iran to poison the water plants of the Americans with a chemical known as polonium chloride. Uri and Lara were sent to stop the plot and find out as many Iranian secrets as they could. Uri was a spy. He had finally got what he had been looking for. He had got a chance to wreck the plans of the Iranian government. But he was found out. Who gave him off? How would he get out of his sticky situation? Did this mean that the Iranians would succeed in their plans?

The book had a lot of interesting scenes. The plot contained the use of deceptive and misleading messages that the enemy countries sent to each other in an attempt to throw each other off-guard. It was exciting and intriguing to read. The main characters in the book were developed. This helped to improve the reader's interest. The roles of Uri and Lara were filled with excitement, suspense, and enthusiasm as they courageously fulfilled any assignments given to them.

What I disliked about this book was that it was difficult for me to keep track of the numerous names listed in the book. It was surprising how much hate people can carry, enough to poison the water system of a very populated nation. The book was filled with fear and insecurity at some point. It was suspenseful to read those parts. I liked how the book was written in a straight-to-the-point manner without any beating around the bush. The book showed the consequences of hasty actions, as in the case of Dr. Regis Trombley, who suffered dearly for his hastiness in making decisions.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. This is because I enjoyed the suspense and tension in it. What I disliked didn't affect how much I enjoyed reading it. I found no errors. It was exceptionally well-edited. The plot, book layout, and theme of the book were good. I recommend this book to people who like reading fast-paced, action-packed political thrillers.

This book is really fascinating and amazin. The humor in this book made me wonder the inspiration the author had before writing this book. However, your review gave me more insight on the book's storyline. Congrats on your published review

It has a very intriguing plot. Owing to the fact that USA and Iran has not really been on good terms, I must say that I will like to read the book. Thanks for the invite through the book.

This novel seems exciting.
I can't wait to read it. The political issues and war between America and Iran has made me pique interest in this book.
Thank you for this wonderful review.
Nice job!

At this point, I'm truly convinced that Jack Winnick is an undefeatable writer. His book plots are always top notch, this one included. This is a great review by the way.

The bloodthirst of this extremist keeps increasing. This time they went the extra mile to carry out their evil intentions. I love how well-detailed this review was. Thanks for the review.

This book sounds like a thriller that would be interesting to people who love books on terrorism. Unfortunately, it has such a dislike.

From your review, this seems to be a very juicy book. It reminds me of the series 24. A discovered spy is suicide. Indeed, what would become of Uri?

Action thriller is definitely my thing and I believe I will enjoy this book. Your summary is top-notch and inviting. Who gave Uri up? I wonder.
