I'd like to read a book on terrorism, especially if it has been written by such a skillful writer like Jack Winnick. Suspense, action, and even romance are woven to produce such an entertaining story.

The Date Farm is the fourth book in Jack Winnick’s Lara and Uri Series.I think Winnick is a very skilled author as evidenced by the high-quality stories he has penned in all his books, including this one. All of his works show the extremes heroes like Lara and Uri put themselves in, even in the face of death, to keep the world safe.

'Official Review: The Date Farm' by Jack Winnick presents a vivid and detailed description of the action thriller story of the book for readers. It explores the vital points of the book for curious readers. The point that all of the author's works show the extremes Lara and Uri put themselves in is worth mentioning in the review. It is noteworthy for readers that the character development and the world-building in the story are perfect. Also, as mentioned in the review, the readers would see from the stories, how many terror attacks the innocent civilians have narrowly escaped. It was great to learn that the book is intense and suspenseful!

"The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick. An interesting book, talks about Iranian terrorists, led by Sheikh Zainal Abidin. Uri and Lara, coming back to service to bring the terrorist down, dressed in disguise. This book is action oriented and it's written skillfully. Congrats on your #BOTD.

As you mentioned, what blows my mind is that there are real-life Laras and Uris who are constantly putting their lives on the line. We may never know how incredibly complex these plots are, but Winnick does a great job of portraying them.
Thank you for your review.

As with the other Lara and Uri books, this is well-written but not for me, as I have no interest in books about terrorism, especially with an anti-Islamic slant, and especially in the current political climate.

it’s exciting to know how Lara and Uri will be able to pursue the Iranian terrorists led by Sheikh Zainal Abidin that attacked a shopping mall and buildings in the United States and if the power duo will able to return the precious rhenium metals.

Given the terror the terrorists commit all over the world, the storyline sounds extremely real. I'm interested to read how the heroes save the world. I also like that it can be read as a standalone. Great review!

This book is an action packed thriller about international espionage filled with suspense and well developed characters. The plot is quite fascinating and better than what is happening in reality about terrorist attacks. I like fast paced novel with well written narrative, but I'm not into stories involving terrorism. Thank you for an amazing review.

Thanks for the excellent review, John. I'm yet to read the other three, but they're on my list. It sounds like the books just get better as they go on. I can tell you loved reading this one (twice!).

I liked the incorporation of intriguing elements in this espionage story, and this fourth sequel to the series seems worth reading.

Feels good to finally get to read some part of the book as a book of the day book, also, the cleverness of the terrorist is also something I would never have expected too, cause the usual narrative is "terrorist are dumb brutes...". Congrats again on a wonderful review
