I read the sample copy and being the fourth book in the series, I expected to feel very confused at the references to the previous books and past encounters between Lara and Uri, but the story was very captivating that I didn't even mind. It's fast-paced and definitely a page turner.

Interesting that the author decided to look at three different perspectives, especially the "villain's" perspective. I also love that you noted it's fast-paced, there's nothing as disconcerting as a slow-paced thriller/crime novel. Great review!

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Uri and Lara will stop terrorism from creating mass destruction and death after the Beverly shopping mall incident. I like reading suspenseful and action packed novels and this one is right up my alley.

THe title of the book it is not appealing at all but having read your review I went and read the sample from Amazon.
Wow it really draws you like a magnet and you can't "put the book down". I like that fact that you have mentioned even though it is part of a series of books (being the fourth book) it still can stand in its own. THank you for a good review!

I cannot seem to understand why someone or a set of people will choose evil over good. Sadly, that's the reality we have had to deal with. I hope Lara Edmond and Uri Levin were able to stop terrorism in this book. I sincerely hope that the menace can be curbed in real life. Nice review.

I read a sample of this book and it was absolutely fast paced as you said. I was a little bit anxious about it being the 4th book in the series as well and had decided that I would rather read the others first, but after reading your review that it stands alone, I may just skip ahead because this seems like a read that will keep me on the edge of my seat!

I read a sample of this book and I agree that it absolutely seems fast paced! I had decided that I would need to read the other 3 books in the series first as well, but after reading your review and seeing that it stands alone, I may skip right to this one because I was hooked by the end of the first couple pages!

"The Date Farm" is a compelling fusion of sci-fi and emotion, reminding us that our past shapes us, but the choices we make define us. Jack Winnick crafts a reflective narrative that prompts readers to contemplate their own regrets, decisions, and the intricacies of time itself. The novel's exploration of alternate histories serves as a metaphor for the roads we all wish we could revisit, making it a thought-provoking read that lingers in the mind.

They say don't judge a book by its cover and that is literally true for this one. I'm not someone who likes to read series a lot but you got me there by mentioning that it can be read as stand alone too. I've always been reading romance but it seems like I'll have to discover other genres after this. Your review was very interesting and I'm definitely going to read the book. Thank you for the review!
