On a Saturday evening, a group of young people gathered at a shopping mall in Beverly Hills. Unnoticed by the crowd, a mysterious group of ten individuals dressed in black entered the mall carrying suspiciously packed bags. Without revealing their intentions, they began by diverting people's attention with the release of gas grenades. They then proceeded to open fire on the unsuspecting crowd using automatic weapons before ultimately taking their own lives. Meanwhile, Uri and Lara, on vacation in Ohio, learned about the mall massacre and immediately abandoned their vacation to launch an investigation into the underlying cause of the incident.

The Date Farm by Jack Winnick is a thrilling action novel that follows Uri and Lara as their honeymoon is disrupted by the urgent need to save humanity from perpetual suicide bombings and killings.

I am a huge fan of all the books by this international thriller author. The previous installments in the series have provided a wealth of knowledge about the devastating acts of terrorism committed by radical Islamic groups worldwide. I am in awe of the author's expertise in creating a captivating tone while describing the action-packed scenes. The fast-paced narrative of the book is another aspect that I love. Every sentence brims with action and suspense. The characters fulfill their roles distinctly, allowing readers to understand them based on their circumstances and involvement in the plot. The characters are authentic and undergo development, and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the story through their perspectives, as it allowed me to relate to their predicaments and shared goals. As a fan of action sequences, I was not disappointed while reading this book, as it maintained an intriguing plot and a captivating storytelling style.

I have nothing to dislike about this book; the plot compelled me to stay engaged and imagine the immense sacrifice Uri, an agent from Israel's Mossad, and his FBI wife (Lara) were making for the United States when they hastily departed for Los Angeles to embark on their rescue mission, leaving their romantic vacation behind. The protagonists further their quest in various locations, such as New York City, Nova Scotia, Puerto Rico, Idaho Falls, Tehran, Bandar, Sierra Leone, and Kazerun.

On a literary note, I did not come across any grammar errors, which speaks to the exceptional editing of the book. Therefore, I give it a rating of five out of five stars. I highly recommend this book to fans of suspenseful stories. If you enjoy a realistic and fast-paced plot filled with tension, this book will undoubtedly appeal to you.
