Dark Intercept

by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

Overview

2022 Carol Award Winner!
2022 Christy Award Finalist!
From the Wall Street Journal, Amazon, and USA Today bestselling authors of the Tier One series and W.E.B. Griffin’s Rogue Asset comes a unique military thriller with a supernatural twist.

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.

Follow the military heroes of The Shepherds series as they bring the power of light into the dark mystery of Sara Beth’s abduction.

Editorial Reviews

09/06/2021

Andrews and Wilson kick off the Shepherds series with a roller-coaster ride following a former Navy SEAL who is pulled into a spiritual battle after he takes on a missing persons investigation. Jed Johnson is retiring after a hip injury and preparing to celebrate his final day in the service when he gets a frantic call from estranged childhood friend David Yarnell. David’s daughter, Sarah Beth, has been kidnapped in Nashville and the police have no leads. Jed had cut ties with David years ago after David married his first love, Rachel, but agrees to help anyway. Once Jed starts investigating, he has a number of strange experiences—he’s suddenly able to hear other people’s thoughts, and internal voices lead him to investigate a car accident that happened at the same time as the abduction. When Sarah Beth’s seemingly telepathic connection with Rachel reveals the location of where she’s being held, Jed kicks into high gear. But the rescue is just the beginning, as Jed is saved by a group, the Shepherds, who have for centuries used the power of the light to combat the dark forces that captured Sarah Beth. By embedding faith elements subtly, Andrews and Wilson allow Jed’s path to the light to slowly reveal itself as a metaphor for following God’s plan. Fans of Frank Peretti will enjoy this action-packed inspirational. (Sept.)
