"In our world today, there are groups of armed men and women who have chosen for whatever reason, religious or political, to sow terror among the rest of the population." This statement shows that the book depicts real-life and historical events. The Date Farm by Jack Winnick is the fourth book in Lara and Uri fictional series. It features the heroic efforts made by Uri Levin and his wife, Lara Edmond, to counter the terrorists' plan. The book portrays loyalty, heroism, devotion, and love.

The plot begins in a shopping mall at Beverly Hills, where the terrorists attacked and killed 58 people, with 125 people injured, and then, they committed suicide with a pistol. The Date Farm features Uri Levin, a Mossad agent, and Lara, who is a defunct Mossad agent and FBI agent. Their vacation at Lara's family home in Ohio is cut short on hearing the news of the attack. On getting to Beverly Hills, Lara and her husband meet with several security officers to uncover the ulterior motives of the terrorists. However, they experienced a security breach. Also, the plot develops further, leading to an attack on the Federal Reserve and the Chase Manhattan Bank (CMB). What are the real intentions of these terrorists? To avoid spoilers, you need to read the book to find out.

The Date Farm is an exceptional novel. It contains twists and turns that keep the reader in suspense. As the story unfolds, many unexpected turns had me glued to the pages. I liked that the events were unpredictable. The inclusion of traces of mystery made the story intriguing. I love how Uri and her wife express mutual dedication to each other. Also, the writer was able to create a real scenery using different locations and security agencies, thereby creating a 3-D visual imagination for the reader.

My favorite scene was when Lara escaped from the tanker. What made me love the plotting were the vivid descriptions and the fact that the plot had a striking resemblance to real-life events. The scenes in the book continued to thrill from the start to the end. Also, the author ensured that the pace is balanced, not too slow or too fast.

The book is coherent and engaging. I like how the author skillfully developed the major and minor characters in such a way that readers may relate to the historical happenings in the world. Despite being the author's fourth fictional series, he made sure it is a stand-alone novel.

I had no issues with the book's content, and there is nothing I dislike about the book. The book is flawless as I did not notice any grammatical or punctuation errors. I am rating The Date Farm 4 out of 4 stars because the characters are very realistic. This book would appeal most to people who enjoy an action-packed fictional novel with a historical background.

Great review. I’ve read all of Jack Winnick’s books and they are excellent. The one thing that I don’t like are his covers! But that’s my opinion.

Despite being the author's fourth fictional series, he made sure it is a stand-alone novel.

Nice! A stand-alone. I like stand-alone books in a series. They are independent and yet connected. Thanks for the insights.

fantastic review, All of Jack Winnick's books, which I have read, are quite good. His covers are the one thing I don't like.
But that's just what I think.
