Uri and Lara are back in action to fight against terrorism in jack Winnick's The Date Farm. Now married, this couple are secret agents that get recruited to help find and take down the terrorist that executed an assault on Los Angeles. The terrorists then raid New York before Uri and Lara can even start an investigation on the L. A. attack. Confusion occurs when no one can figure out why the enemy is in New York City since they did not cause a massacre like in L.A. The pair gets assigned a mission to infiltrate a date farm in Kazerun. There is intel stating this location caused the U.S. communication satellites to crash before the attacks. They will be farm workers in disguise while secretly collecting information from the enemies and snooping around the farm.

Zainal Abidin, the leader of a terrorist group from Iran, has spent years planning this string of attacks on the U.S. His sole purpose for these attacks is to steal precious materials used for the military. Abidin has dedicated his life to attempting to defeat the "westerners." Will he finally succeed?

Winnick did a great job at using vivid imagery descriptions. It was easy and enjoyable to imagine the scenes playing out. The development of the characters was well detailed and organized. Miles was a character I enjoyed the most. It was suspenseful trying to guess his next moves. I liked how Miles has a love for video games and how this got incorporated into the story. Also, I liked the inclusion of the enemy's journey at sea after they escaped from New York. It was interesting to see how methodically planned their scheme was.

I give The Date Farm a rating of 4 out of 4. This book is exceptionally edited, as there were no errors that I came across. There wasn't anything I disliked about this book. The adventure, suspense, and plot twists made the read entertaining. The story was easy to follow even with all the different government agencies, characters, and technology involved. Winnick has constructed another great novel depicting Uri's and Lara's dangerous careers.

I recommend this book to those who enjoy adventures about war crimes and terrorism. It contains a lot of action along with the use of advanced technology. There is no profanity or sexual content. Violence gets mentioned throughout the book, therefore, I would suggest it to a mature audience.
