Dark Rising, the fourth installment in Brian Andrews and Jeffery Wilson's Shepherds series, continues to deliver gripping action thrillers that are utterly addictive. I devoured this book in two days, sacrificing sleep to keep turning the pages. Andrews and Wilson have mastered the art of suspense, and the unique blend of military action with spiritual warfare sets this series apart.
Following the defeat of Victor in Dark Fall, former Navy SEAL Jedidiah Johnson and his team attempt a much-needed vacation. Jed's inherent unease with downtime, however, is palpable, and his divinely inspired trip to Haiti quickly ignites a chain reaction of events, plunging the Shepherds back into the fray to confront Victor's sinister successor. The authors craft characters with remarkable depth, such as Jed’s internal conflict between his warrior nature and his desire to follow his faith, and the action sequences, like the harrowing rescue mission through the Haitian mountains, are masterfully executed. The powerful message of good versus evil is interwoven throughout the story, shown through the characters unwavering dedication to their beliefs in the face of overwhelming odds.
Dark Rising is a superb thriller that will captivate you from beginning to end. If you crave a page-turning rollercoaster ride with a thought-provoking spiritual dimension, I highly recommend this book.
