This is a thrilling story about Uri Levin, a Mossad agent who has been married to Danielle. Despite his wife's insistence that he retire, Uri is determined to continue his work. However, this causes a strain in their marriage, and Danielle eventually decides to leave him. During a mission, Uri comes across a coded message that catches his attention. He is then assigned to work with Lara Edmund, an FBI agent based in America. Lara is known for her expertise in computer technology, and she created a program that monitors emails on the web. Along with her team, Lara uses the program to search for coded messages between terrorists.
 
Meanwhile, the terrorists have sent Walid to America to learn how to make bombs like the Americans do. Walid goes undercover and becomes highly skilled in bomb-making. Uri and Lara are left wondering what the terrorists' plan is and what they intend to do with the information. Will Uri and Lara be able to stop the terrorists before it's too late? Will they be able to prevent a catastrophic attack? To find out, dive into the heart-pumping pages of this thrilling book.
 
While reading the book, I couldn't help but notice the author's sympathetic portrayal of the young Arabs who have been deceived their entire lives. Jack Winnick's writing revealed the true problem of the Middle East, and I appreciated how he included Golda Meir's statement, "We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate ours." The book was a delightful mix of suspense, romance, and thriller. Although the first few chapters introduced different characters and jumped between various timelines and locations, the tension steadily grew with each subsequent chapter, making it impossible for me to put the book down. Winnick's use of multiple perspectives throughout the book provided a comprehensive view of the situation, and his character development was highly engaging. The unpredictable plot kept me engrossed in the story from beginning to end.
 
In my opinion, the book's pacing was well-executed, providing a good balance of thrilling moments to keep me engaged throughout. One aspect that I found particularly intriguing was the exploration of strategies used to track down terrorists, which added depth to the story's overall believability. The fight scenes were especially enjoyable to read, as they made me feel as though I was right in the middle of the action. Additionally, I appreciated the author's careful attention to detail when describing elements such as bomb components, weapons, and scenery; it was evident that they had done their research thoroughly. The use of historical, thermodynamic, and physics concepts throughout the book was impressive and left me feeling impressed. The author's ability to bring vivid and realistic depictions of past wars and diplomatic relations between Israel and the United States to life was commendable. I must give the author credit for their exceptional choice of words, diction, tone, dialogue, and writing style, which all contributed to the book's overall brilliance.
 
There was nothing I disliked about East Wind, 2nd Edition. The book was exceptionally edited too. I would give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy attention-grabbing tales about terrorist attacks.
