Hi @Luis Alvas, I just read your comments on the official review of "The Date Farm" and I like your description without using any of the names of the characters. This is Winnick's 4th book in his 5 book terrorism series and I have read all five of them. Each book is very different but all include Lara and Uri and I highly recommend all five of them. This story about an attack of innocent shoppers in a mall in Los Angeles is very different but all five books have put me on the edge of my seat by the end of the first chapter. The books are hard to put down until the last page and I hope you enjoy them. @Mrlefty0706

The review of this book is for sure good. From the review we know that the book is a thriller and doesn't advocate killing enemies and show how the FBI Agents are really doing a good job. Can't wait to read this!!!

Hi @Aremu Titilopemi Funmilayo, I just read your comments on the official review of "The Date Farm" and I was puzzled by your comments about neither side being considered villians. In my opinion no matter the cause the killing and injuring of more than 100 innocent people cannot be considered a justifiable cause. Was Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of President Kennedy a justifiable cause? The same question can be asked about the killing of Dr. Martin Luther King, the killing of Robert Kennedy, the killing of John Lennon, the killing of innocent school children in too many schools across the U.S. in the past few years. Is the Russian invasion of Ukraine justifiable? I respect your opinion but I do not agree with it. I hope you put this aside and enjoy reading this incredible book and Jack Winnick's other four terrorism novels. @Mrlefty0706

Avid readers of spy novels that contains lots of action will enjoy this book. Lara and Uri are back on the case in the forth installment in the Lara and Uri series, as the duo jet set around the world to fight evil. This is one of those reads that you would not want to put down. Congrats to the author for receiving the BOTD honor.

Hi @Aaron Joseph Maupin, I just read your comments on the official review of "The Date Farm" and I agree this is a book that belongs on every reader of geopolitical thrillers book shelves. I have read all five of Jack Winnick's 5 book terrorism series and I highly recommend them all. I hope Jack decides to write additional books for this series. There is definitely enough terrorism going on in the world to fuel several additional books. @Mrlefty0706 @jwinnick1

Hi @Damian Keyes, I just read your comments on the official review of "The Date Farm" and I agree this is a book for anyone that loves to read geopolitical thrillers. I have read all five of Jack Winnick's 5 book terrorism series and I highly recommend them all. The first chapter of each book will hook readers since one will sit on the edge of their seat reading the book and will not want to put the book down until they have finished reading it. Killing innocent shoppers in a mall was an incredible but sad way to start this book. Once Lara and Uri track down the leader of these terrorists readers will be chearing for the heroes. @Mrlefty0706 @jwinnick1

The fourth book in Jack Winnick's action-packed, quick-paced series of international espionage thrillers is titled The Date Farm. The exploits of Uri and Laura are expertly kept interesting and suspenseful by Winnick. I had a great time reading this book; it was another thrilling adventure with Lara and Uri.

"The Date Farm" by Jack Winnick is an action-packed and fast-paced international espionage thriller. It is the fourth book in a series of novels. Congratulations on the BOTD. The reviewer has provided insight into the content. The review is detailed and correctly mentions the typos and intimacy present.

Hi @Priyankan Nayak, I just read your comments on the official review of "The Date Firm" and I agree it is an incredible book, a geopolitical thriller like Jack Winnick's other four books in this series. Jack is a very talented writer and I highly recommend all of his books. This book begins with an attack at a Los Angeles mall where more than 100 innocent shoppers were killed or seriously injured by terrorists that gunned them down. I have found Jack Winnick books have first chapters that hook the reader and the book is very hard to put down until the last page. His books have been BOTD many times over the past three years and his website states he is working on book 6. @Mrlefty0706 @jwinnick1

I adore a good story involving intelligence officers. It is a plus that this book can be read alone without having to read the other books in the series, but I would rather start with the first book to gain a deeper understanding.

The Date Farm by Jack winnick seems like a action packed thriller. I am not such a fan of the action packed books with so much violence. But I liked the detailed review by SweetSourSalty AndSpicy.

Thank you for the good review. Jack Winnick always starts off his novels with a ‘bang’ and this is no exception. Lara and Uri, now married, in a frantic race to prevent further atrocity and find justice.

Will Lara and Uri ever rest? Well, there should be no rest for them when their countries need their services. Now they have to device a way to save the day again.
