When a remote Peruvian
village is reduced to ash in seconds, the Shepherds face a horrific question:
Is this the work of a man-made weapon of unthinkable power, or is God raining
down judgment from above, as some believe?
As the recently installed leader of the Joshua
Bravo team, Jedidiah Johnson shifts into covert operation mode to follow rumors
of a new energy-based weapon able to incinerate a target—even a human
target—with no warning. With the assistance of the CIA, Jed’s team deploys to
Hong Kong to extract the Chinese scientist who helped develop the weapon.
What the Shepherds learn from Dr. Zhao confirms
their worst fears: The weapon is real and has disappeared from the testing
facility where it was held. With help from the Watchers, Jed discovers that
Victor, the leader of the Dark Ones, has the weapon and intends to use it to
wreak untold damage and destabilize the faith of millions. But as Jed and his
team race the clock to find and disable the weapon, Victor begins to unfold
secret plans for another attack . . .
And this target is much closer to home.

Thoughts:
Dark
Fall
by Brian Andrew and Jeff Wilson follows the harrowing tale of the Shepherds who
see the interaction with the demon world. While on a life saving mission, they
are trying to find out what the weapon is and how to stop it before it destroys
much of mankind. The action is definitely a moving target as the story
progresses. My favorite part is the last thirty percent of the novel where the
main climactic moment of the whole series come to a head. With plenty of action
and movement, Wilson and Andrews will take readers on a ride through the
demonic world and understand the overarching power of God and how he can defeat
all of them. THe storyline was different, yet familiar to readers of spiritual
darkness like Frank Peretti, but they allow soldiers who are trained in armed
forces to deal with this type of evil. Overall, Dark Fall by Andrews and Wilson had enough action to keep this
suspense loving reader actively involved, but it also forces me to wonder how
deep my faith is. A great question to ponder.
I received a complimentary copy of Dark Fall by Brian
Andrews and Jeff Wilson through Tyndale Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
