Former
Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson returns to Nashville ready to begin his training
with the elite warriors known as the Shepherds. He thinks he knows what to
expect when he arrives on the sprawling, state-of-the-art facility but quickly
realizes he’ll have to find his place as the rookie leader of a new team. Then
he starts having visions of an imminent attack overseas, and with the clock
ticking, Jed and his team are dispatched to neutralize the threat. All the
while, Jed hears whispers of another threat . . . a name that raises
unexplained fear and anger throughout the Shepherds organization.
Once a military man, Nicholas Woland betrayed the
Shepherds and all they stood for when he joined their enemies. After years in
prison, Woland is eager to get back in action spreading chaos and death. And he
has been freed for a purpose: a sinister plot that will result in hundreds of
casualties and incite worldwide religious warfare for years to come.
As Woland and the Shepherds race toward a collision,
Jed must rely on his gifts, his training, and his untested team to make
critical decisions on a global stage—never realizing that a secret servant of
the enemy is growing closer and closer to him.
My
Thoughts:
Dark
Angel by Brian Andrews continues the story of the
Shephards. All of the characters are ex-military that have been in service, but
they serve the Lord and now want to fight the dark forces aka demons that are
running rampant in the world. The plot was a little slow in the first part as
the story takes place in the training world of the Shephards. It was
interesting to see how they are trained to prepare to face the dark angels, but
it did take a long part of the story. Once they were called up, the story
started to take off and create a little more tension. The part of the story
where the dark angel, who is creating the havoc, is allowed to show his past
story and emotions is some of my favorite parts of the story. Part III is a
nicely handled section full with a number of high-octane moments
with plenty of action. Overall, Dark
Angel by Brian Andrews is full of action, just like I enjoy my stories, in
the second and third parts. If readers enjoy suspense books like Joel Rosenberg
with a hint of hope from God, then this might be the book for them to read.
I received a complimentary copy of Dark Angel by Brian Andrews from Tyndale
Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my own.

Purchase Dark Angel
By Kelly Bridgewater
When
dark forces rise, are faith and firepower enough?
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.
My
Thoughts:
Dark
Intercept by Brian Andrews is a huge hit in my book. I
had a really hard time putting the novel down. Tons of actions. Tons of
darkness. Tons of running. Tons of shooting. Kidnapping. Mystical, Spiritual
Elements. This novel kept my attention and did not let go. At first, when it
started in the Middle East, I sighed in defeat because so many spy or military
novels start over there. I did not want to read another one of these novels.
But once you move past the first couple of chapters, it really takes off. A lot
of unknowns, which kept me begging for the authors to tell me. I sat and
devoured the novel. It was fabulously written. Since this was labeled as book
#one, I really hope there are more novels. I can't wait to put this novel on my
keeper shelf. I highly recommend this novel to fans of high octane action with
the twist of spiritual warfare.
