We occasionally catch up on the news and see movies that explore terrorism. There are various causes for these awful terrorist attacks. Author Jack Winnick discussed the shocking attack by some Islamist terrorists on American grounds in his book East Wind, 2nd edition.

A competent, daring young man named Uri and a woman with computer whiz Lara are the subjects of the intriguing story East Wind, 2nd edition, which vividly depicts how the fate of two nations rests on their shoulders. Winnick is a professor of engineering who has been involved in chemical and nuclear engineering for forty years. Together with hundreds of professional articles, he is indeed the creator of the extensively used thermodynamics textbook. Winnick infuses this book with vast knowledge thanks to his astounding skill and comprehension. Every paragraph, scenario, and chapter is interesting and thoroughly explained. Even though the book is mostly action-packed, the author manages to touch on topics like love and cordial relationships.

Throughout the book, Winnick arouses the reader's curiosity about what might happen to Khalid, a 16-year-old child traveling down an unknown path but with a firm conviction that he is on the right course. Naturally, this makes readers wonder if their path or course is right. As a result, the story makes the readers curious about what will happen next.

Winnick spent a substantial amount of time researching and writing this narrative. It is visible through the texts of the book. Details about the FBI, the CIA, past encounters with terrorists, etc., tie the story together and make it complete. In most cases, switching back and forth between so many characters' points of view might be jerky and distracting, but this book works incredibly well and provides readers with a viewpoint from the real heroes and the baddies. I commend the author for using seamless transitions to make it flow. Reading the book from the perspectives of both Uri and Lara, as well as the terrorists, was probably my favorite part of it.

I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Generally, the content of this book is really strong, and I found no grammatical or typographical issues while reading it. I gave this book five stars because I thought it was fantastic; it is now one of my favorite books this year and is exceptionally well-edited. I have no concerns about this book. The plot had me completely engrossed, and I was awed by how many intricate elements were present.

I advise fans of investigative fiction and crime thrillers to read this book. Due to the volume of sexual content and strong language, children shouldn't read this. However, it was an enjoyable read. Those who enjoy spy novels and political fiction will also enjoy this book. Finally, due to the obscenity, violent situations, and sexual material in this novel, it would not be appropriate for a young audience.

I agree with you : it shouldn’t be recommended to young readers . It’s violent and sexual scenes even made me uncomfortable

If there’s any author that knows his way around sci-fi and spy novels then it would Jack Winnick. Each of his novels comes highly researched and realistic. You did a brilliant work with your review and I loved reading it!

I read a sample of this book and it sparked my interest. I'm a big fan of action thrillers and movies, and the fact that it's about terrorism and espionage makes it seem even more interesting. Thanks for the nice review.

I can only imagine the pressure Uri and his bride Lara was under when they realized that the fate of their world rested on their shoulder. Seeing as it is life and death, they must have been under great pressure.

I feel having to carry the troubles of the nation was quite a burden to bear and the couple did a good job while working with their tech whiz. Would love to know the end of this book.

From the description of Winnick, I won’t doubt where his vast knowledge and skill in writing comes from. I like that the book was also full of suspense and I won’t fail to add this to my book shelf.

I like books where authors make the book seamless and transition between scenes is simple and doesn't end up confusing the readers. The character development of this book was also marvellous.

One thing I love about books is when I read without getting confused with the switch of scenes. This is one factor authors should consider because the comprehension of the readers matter a lot.

I for one will not be able to shoulder such a responsibility. Like a while Country depending one me? No thank you. I'll pass. What if I don't deliver appropriately? I'll be responsible for the lost lives? No way.

I'm interested to see how the author weaves the different plot points together. The fact that the book contains graphic and potentially triggering content is something to keep in mind.

I'm glad the book is well-structured. The fact that the book has a slow pace could be a turn-off for some readers. I'm curious to see how the author handles the relationships between the characters.
