This military thriller dives more than surface deep as the authors explore good and evil—both the seen and the unseen. Jedediah Johnson is somewhat jaded but when he agrees to help out his former best friend by finding his daughter, you get a peek at his heart. But what really sets this book apart are the scenes from Sarah Beth’s point of view. First, her quick acceptance of Jed is true to her character. These two male authors write their tween protagonist in a way that shows us she’s special while keeping some of her innocence intact. It’s a tough feat but one Andrews & Wilson handle with aplomb. I wholly look forward to book two in this series and learning more about the shepherds and the watchers. Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. 5 stars, Epic story of good vs evil DARK INTERCEPT by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson Published by: Tyndale House Publishing This is the kick-off novel for The Shepherds Series. The story is about a Navy Seal named Jedidiah Johnson who is rotating out of the Navy. He has an uncanny sense of self-preservation that usually worked pretty well to protect him and his Seal Team. Jed is approached by his ex-best friend to help find the friend's teenaged daughter, who has been kidnapped. Due to his shared history with his ex-friend, he doesn't want to take the job but knows that he has to for the girl's sake. Highly recommend it, this is an epic story of good vs evil, complete with high-action scenes without the non-stop offensive expletives that are so common in today's writing styles. Many thanks for the complimentary copy of #DarkIntercept I received from @TyndaleHousePublishers #ChristianThriller #MustReadSeries #BestChristianThrillerBooks I was under no obligation to post a review. Dark Intercept is an exciting read. It has plenty of action to keep any reader interested. Jedidiah Johnson is retiring from the Navy Seals. In any other job he would be considered in the prime of his life, but the demanding life of a Seal requires a team member to always be in top form. Jed has seen too much and suffered to much both physically and emotionally to continue. He feels it is best for him and his teammates to retire. Just as he is getting set to enter civilian life he is called upon by an old acquaintance, David, to help find the man’s missing daughter. Jed hasn’t heard from David or David’s wife, in years. The parting was not on the best of terms and was only exacerbated by the fact that David, who is now a pastor, had married Jed’s old girl friend, Rachael. Now they are turning to Jed to find their teenage daughter who they say has been kidnapped. Jed tells them he was a Seal, not a detective and doesn’t know how he could be of help. They bring up the fact that Jed had always had a special connection with Rachael and David, a closeness that went beyond the physical to the spiritual. This spiritual connection they say could help him find their daughter, who also has a strong spiritual connection with Rachael. Though not convinced of this, Jed does say he will look into the kidnapping. The hunt does not go as Jed had imagined, as he meets opposition from local law enforcement and from a dark energy that he cannot explain. He will need all his skills as a Seal and help from a higher power to bring the girl home. The action is well detailed. This is a faith based story that includes some interesting spiritual propositions and some unusual stretches of the imagination.

On the eve of his medical retirement, Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson receives a frantic call from his estranged childhood best friend, David Yarnell. David's daughter has been kidnapped off the streets of Nashville in broad daylight. The police have no suspects and no leads. The only clue: the body of a dead priest left behind at the scene. With the clock ticking, David is growing desperate, as is his wife, Rachel . . . Jed's first love. Despite his painful history with David and Rachel, Jed agrees to help. But he's spent his career as a door-kicking Navy SEAL, not an investigator. His presence immediately draws unwanted attention, creates friction with the local police, and triggers a mysterious attempt on his life. Just when he thinks things can't get worse, it starts to happen again-the voices in his head, the nightmares, the visions. Dark memories and strange abilities, things he believed he'd left behind when he fled Nashville for the Navy at eighteen, begin to resurface. Jed realizes that to save the missing girl, he must take a leap of faith and embrace the gifts he's denied for all these years. To foil this dark intercept, he'll need more than just his years as a SEAL operator, because he has no choice now but to take up arms and join the battle in the unseen, spiritual warfare raging all around him. And there is far more at stake than just a missing girl: the world is not the place he thought it was-and he is not alone"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
