The USA is under intense attack by Islamic terrorists. The terrorist group gave no breathing space as they dished out their well-planned assaults, which included suicide.

Uri Levin and Lara Edmond are newlyweds. They decided to take a break from work and went on vacation at Lara's family house. There, they had a great time and even had an intimate moment almost at the end of their stay. A distress call from Beverly Hills rendered their vacation incomplete. A terrorist group attacked a mall in Beverly Hills, leaving 58 people dead and 27 injured. It was a typical summer Saturday evening at the mall when ten black-clad men attacked, opening fire on the unaware crowd. The young couple, also agents, were summoned immediately to Los Angeles to investigate the massacre. They also found out that the terrorists had also interfered with their communication system. What could be the motive for the attack? Why were they targeted at the US? How long will the attack continue? Read The Date Farm by Jack Winnick to find out.

The Date Farm is the fourth installment of the Lara and Uri series. It is a 334-page fictional book that exposes the Islamic terrorism methods of Americans and Jews. I admire the author’s writing style. Although reading the other books in the series is needed for complete understanding, the book can be read and enjoyed as a standalone. The book was professionally edited; I found a few errors while reading.

I had some dislikes about the book. The book contained a lot of underdeveloped characters. It was a challenge to keep up with the characters. I just had to focus on the main characters while reading. The book was also unnecessarily lengthy. Also, there was no glossary to give meanings to unfamiliar acronyms like LAPD and LAX. Therefore, I will rate this book four out of five stars.

I recommend this book to lovers of action, crime, and thrillers. I also recommend this book to older or more mature readers, as it contains some elements of violence.

I was opportuned to read a sample of this book when it was chosen as book of the day and I loved it. The way things moved from zero to a hundred In such a short time for the couple made the book even more interesting. Cool review.

This book sounds like an intense one, and I wonder how it unfolds. Although you mentioned that it can be read as a standalone, I am still a bit discouraged that it is the fourth book in its series. Well done.

Date Farm is an action-packed novel about the patriotic attempt to stop terrorist attacks. The flaw you noticed that about it being unnecessarily long throws me off abit but nice job.

It's rare to come across someone who doesn't consider this book as a perfect 5/5. Jack Winnick really did a great job on this one too.

Crime-solving stories like this. They are usually the best type of stories to read. The couple Lara and Uri tend to bring out the best in these stories as they put in efforts to conquer terrorism.

Lara and Uri are so dedicated to their work. This is also a series I will like to read. Solving crimes together can be thrilling and scary at the same time. Your review was well written. I understand what your rating was not 5/5 as too much acronyms in book tends to distract.
