I am never up to reading a book that lies in the middle of a series, but this book is standalone and there was enough groundbreaking sentences to summaries the prior books in the series. I found the book highly suspensful, full of realistic characters, and a probable future terrorism event. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars, and I appreciate the inciteful review that highlighted the best the book had to offer.

Thanks for your review! This international thriller sounds interesting. I'm curious what type of terror the rest of the population has to endure. It sounds like a book full of action and an international thriller worth reading.

Thank you for your review. The Date Farm sounds quite realistic in its plot. I was able to read the sample available and found it very suspenseful. I think I would enjoy reading this thriller. Thank you for the recommendation.

For the fourth book in a series to be a standalone is pretty amazing. I like that. When i first saw the title, i thought it was an ebook on how to grow dates. It made me wonder if i should go for it or not. I appreciate the character development and the professional editing which some books are lacking these days. A suspenseful thriller is worth trying. Your review is quite compelling. Great job :tiphat:

A professional review of a just too-good-to-miss book. We are given all the strong points: "the fast-paced, realistic plot", likable characters Lara and Uri, the fact that the book is self-standing even if the fourth in the series, and more.
I agree that the book is a winner. Actually, I am a little worried it could inspire some real terrorists to emulate it. :techie-reference:

I am so glad this plot isn't merely centered around another power couple. Thank you for elaborating on their devotion to each other. I am not much into CTMS books, but the realistic ties to United States makes me want to be more aware and check it out. Great review.

I initially wasn't interested, but your review changed my mind! I love a can't-put-down type of book. International thrillers are typically exciting, and this one sounds one of a kind. Thanks for a tantalizing review!

What I like about this book is the scene development. There is a fantastic follow of events. The story itself is captivating and applicable to today's world. Terrorism is a menace in today's world.

This review is accurate in every way, including the awarded 4/4 stars. The start of the novel is a page turner, jumping straight in to the action and leaving the reader with plenty of questions. The authors ability to switch points of view and add details to every character mentioned frequently keeps the reader on their toes whilst maintaining their avid interest. This makes for a suspense filled narrative which gets your heart pumping.

Thank you for the great review, and remarking that it can be read as a stand alone novel despite being the 4th in the series. 👍😁

This sounds like a fast-paced suspense novel! Even though it is a part of a series, I am glad it can be read on it's own. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review!

Books are beautiful.
