A ten-man terrorist group launched an attack on a shopping mall filled with young people in Beverly Hills. Over 50 deaths and more than 100 casualties were recorded. Uri and Lara, the newlywed couple who had gone on vacation to Ohio, were contacted because they have successfully investigated terrorist attacks before. Their skills were needed; therefore, they were needed to investigate the shopping mall terrorist attack. Along the way, they discovered the U.S. satellite was altered, and communication and security were distorted. The terrorists were after something. Uri and Lara swung into action on their separate undercover investigations; while Lara traveled on a cargo ship, Uri took a plane to Nova Scotia in a bid to get information about the terrorist and help restore the item stolen from the bank. How did the terrorists break into the U.S. bank? Could there be an insider who was working for the terrorist as well as responsible for the atrocities committed? Pick up a copy of The Date Farm, written by Jack Winnick, to find out.

While I read, I wondered why corruption has penetrated every sector, including government and religion. I wondered why young people full of dreams and aspirations would allow themselves to be used to commit crimes and kill others. The description of the incidents by the author made me understand why the attack was launched, and I almost forgot it was a work of fiction. As I read, I discovered the essence of peace in reality, and if it were achieved, the world would be a better place.

Despite being the fourth book in Uri and Lara's series, I liked the suspense and the unexpected turn the author introduced. Aside from the terrorist attacks, the author creates an engaging story by fusing romance, inquiry, and science. I was pleased to read about Uri and Lara's marriage and how their previously suppressed love was reignited. I salute their courage and their selflessness in battling terrorism.

However, I just have a dislike; I found some names confusing, and I had to scroll back to understand them. Apart from this, the author's writing prowess was excellent, and he was able to develop the characters as well as describe the locations and scenes in the book extensively. I also did not see any errors in this book; it was exceptionally edited. I see no reason to deduct any points, as I found it interesting. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to action book lovers and readers who are comfortable reading about violence, crime, and terrorism.

I agree with you, It's sad how young people with bright futures allow themselves to be brainwashed into taking fellow human life in the name of belief. This is a wonderful review.
