This Lara and Uri novel takes our characters through a multitude of adventures involving terrorists. Our heroes even disguise themselves as terrorists in order to infiltrate. This thriller sounds entertaining.

"The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick begins with a brutal attack on a Beverly Hills shopping mall. Two more attacks on bank buildings in New York City will soon follow. Trained operatives Lara Edmond and Uri Levin will be on the trail of terrorists. I like the author's perfect sense of details.

The fast-paced and dramatic events of the plot outline make it clear that the story will be full of action and excitement.The premise of the story is intriguing, with terrorists stealing a rare metal and launching deadly attacks. It sets the stage for an action-packed and suspenseful story.

I find it oddly satisfying to have an antagonist (the terrorist) who outsmarts the protagonist. Perhaps it's the unusual nature of this dynamic that makes it all the more intriguing.
I believe in something greater than myself.

I admire how Uris and Laras put their lives on the line to prevent civilians from the disasters that's a heroic act. Congrats on the BOTD.

Thank you for the great review, John! I fully agree with your rating of Jack Winnick's Date Farm and with your assessment of Winnick's counterterrorism thrillers - for me too they are the best pick. I liked your comment about Laras and Uris keeping the world safe - how topical this is in the current world arena!

"The Date Farm" is the fourth installment in Jack Winnick’s Lara and Uri series. It's not my favorite, but still worth the ride.

“The Date Farm” by Jack Winnick is his 4th incredible book in the Lara and Uri 5-book series. This fictional, but very possible, terrorist attack occurs in a Beverly Hills shopping mall where more than 100 innocent shoppers are killed and hundreds more were injured by a group of terrorists that opened fire on the unsuspecting crowd. Meanwhile, the security of the Dept. of Defense and DHS was breached and the Federal Reserve and Chase Manhattan were also attacked. I highly recommend all five of Winnick’s well-written action thrillers. Hold onto your seat, this book will be hard to put down. Very good review.

Hy there i am new here and i love to read thrillers, I am fond of collecting different history, mystery and thriller books and this book also going to be a good edition, it is about international terrorism. Lara and Uri are the characters who put their best to make the most out of every situation with their skills. Overall this story has a good plot.

This is an action-packed thriller that deals with the terrorism topic which in my opinion is a very sensitive one, especially with everything that's happening in Palestine right now. Thanks for the review, but after reading how it deals with the concept of terrorists I think I'll skip it. The world is depressing enough right now, I don't know if I want to read a book about a terrorist attack
