Hopefully married couple Lara (a FBI agent) and Uri (a Mossad agent) can stop the terrorist attacks that are happening in this book. It's great to hear that you found this to be a page-turner, well-edited, and that it had well-developed characters. I like that the author seemed to portray Lara and Uri in a realistic manner where they don't feel like they need to prove anything and that both characters were loyal to their agencies and countries. Good to know this can be a standalone and that you enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for sharing!

The plots and characters in the novel, The Date Farm sound extraordinary. The review
is helpful in explaining why the book is listed in the C/T/M/H genre. The review is excellent.
Congratulations on Book of the Day.

The sample started with a shocker: a catastrophe almost equal to 9/11. I am eager to find out how the rest of the story unfolds for Lara and Uri. I am curious about the title, too. Is this a takeoff from The Animal Farm?

This seems like a exciting read. When I first saw that it's the fourth book of a series, I didn't think I'd want to read it. But, that's not the case and I'll definitely be reading this book. Thanks for your wonderful review.

A fast-paced, well-written edited, well-developed cast, and complex plot makes this book a good thriller. I'd love to check it out! Thanks for the review!

Post by Gathoni1991 »

The book opens with a high octane energy scene, bloody and full of casualties. A real deflection from the title and I must say I loved the pleasant surprise. In the few pages I have read terror attacks, Homeland security, Mossad, hacking of U.S communications systems, just the right concotion for a must-read for me.

Although the book seems very appropriate to our current times, international thriller was never my favorite genre. I loved your descriptions of the main characters. Thanks for the in-depth review!

"The Date Farm" is a thriller by Jack Winnick set around the attack on the US by Iranian terrorists and the thrilling suspense of agents Lara and Uri's infiltration of the terrorist gang. Congratulations on BOTD!!

From a sampling, this is an interesting crime/mystery story. It appears to be worth a second look. Well done.

Terrorism is cruel and any novel where this is crushed, where the killers were given what they deserve will be placed on top of my bookshelf. I hope this one lives to my expectation so I could escape from the harsh realities in life even just for a while.
