"The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick is a captivating international espionage thriller, honoring unsung heroes, challenging hero-villain perceptions. Engaging pace and settings make it a must-read. Five out of five.

All starts from the action. It’s about terrorism, so there might be some unpleasant graphic details.
It is definitely interesting and something that surely could have happened. It begins in the US and ends in Iran. Congrats on #BOTD

Latest Review: LaBlance Fish Tales Two by Peter F LaBlance

Post by Cilla Owusu Yaa »

I really loved the book. Coming from an African country I don't really know much about these FBI operations and stuff but having a news oriented dad who made it a norm to listen to international news everyday made me a bit interested in these things. Reading this sample really gave me a lot of insight which I can relate to the real life news I hear on the radio everyday.

Examining the notion of "unsung heroes" through the lens of freedom fighters who sacrifice much for the greater good provides insight and intrigue.

The evolution of Lara and Uri's relationship set against the backdrop of intense action adds a human touch to the high-stakes scenarios. The book's ability to spark introspection on the complexities of geopolitics and personal choices left me thoroughly engaged and contemplative.
I believe in something greater than myself.

The Date Farm by Jack Winnick is book 4 in the Lara and Uri series. It is a compelling read with tons of action, suspense, and international conflicts that will leave you thrilled to keep reading. The brutal terrorist attack on a Los Angeles shopping mall, followed by an attack in New York, will bring Lara and Uri's vacation to a premature end. Congratulations on the BOTD!
