Book #3 in the Shepherds series。 Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson write thoughtful novels， with great characters， gripping action scenes， and compelling plots。 They also are masters at the right vs。 wrong and good vs。 evil stories。 This series while not only military thrillers， also has an aspect of spiritual warfare to it。 Seeing the protagonists fight for the souls of people， steering them back towards the light， gives an added dimension that you don't always get within the genre。 I find it to Book #3 in the Shepherds series。 Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson write thoughtful novels， with great characters， gripping action scenes， and compelling plots。 They also are masters at the right vs。 wrong and good vs。 evil stories。 This series while not only military thrillers， also has an aspect of spiritual warfare to it。 Seeing the protagonists fight for the souls of people， steering them back towards the light， gives an added dimension that you don't always get within the genre。 I find it to be a nice addition to the story arc， and not so heavy handed as to feel like religion is being shoved down the throat of the readers。 They strike an excellent balance。 。。。more

Very interesting concept and exciting， action packed story but I could have done without the unnecessary foul language。 I feel like this third book in the series did a better job of having the shepherds and watchers pray for help but it seems like the power of the demons got more credit than the power of God。 I’d like to see the characters focus more on fighting evil in Jesus’ power than in their physical strength and military training。 I do agree that spiritual warfare is real and the story def Very interesting concept and exciting， action packed story but I could have done without the unnecessary foul language。 I feel like this third book in the series did a better job of having the shepherds and watchers pray for help but it seems like the power of the demons got more credit than the power of God。 I’d like to see the characters focus more on fighting evil in Jesus’ power than in their physical strength and military training。 I do agree that spiritual warfare is real and the story definitely kept my attention！ 。。。more

This was a very well written third story in the series。 The characters’ ‘gifts’ were described in great detail， with some becoming stronger。 This was a great blend of tactical action， spiritual connection， and supernatural themes。 I totally love how the authors blended it all together into a seamless story that keeps me wanting more。 If you have read the first two in the series， I highly recommend this one as well。 For me this was an action filled story that was fast paced。 I’m not going to drop This was a very well written third story in the series。 The characters’ ‘gifts’ were described in great detail， with some becoming stronger。 This was a great blend of tactical action， spiritual connection， and supernatural themes。 I totally love how the authors blended it all together into a seamless story that keeps me wanting more。 If you have read the first two in the series， I highly recommend this one as well。 For me this was an action filled story that was fast paced。 I’m not going to drop any spoilers， but the ending was somewhat emotional for me。 Looking forward to the next one！ 。。。more

This is my first novel by the guys—Andrews and Wilson—but it won’t be the last！ Whew！ Dark Fall was a combination of Tom Clancy and Frank Peretti—a combustible， inspirational， and incredible combination。 My only disappointment was not knowing about these dudes until recently， so I hadn’t read the first two books in the Shepherds series。 Still， it didn’t keep me from gasping， chewing my thumbnail， and reading into the night。Even though I have no military experience， I did work for Air Force perso This is my first novel by the guys—Andrews and Wilson—but it won’t be the last！ Whew！ Dark Fall was a combination of Tom Clancy and Frank Peretti—a combustible， inspirational， and incredible combination。 My only disappointment was not knowing about these dudes until recently， so I hadn’t read the first two books in the Shepherds series。 Still， it didn’t keep me from gasping， chewing my thumbnail， and reading into the night。Even though I have no military experience， I did work for Air Force personnel and hubby was in the Navy， so all the acronyms didn’t bother me。 If you read this on an eBook reader and you’re not familiar， it can be a bit problematic。 Still， there’s enough context one shouldn’t find it too difficult。 If it is， just ignore them， because the story is strong enough to keep one engaged。The character development is not lacking as can happen in military thrillers。 The two main characters Jed and his “niece” Sarah Beth were endearing and gave heart to all the action。Sigh。 I’m going to have to buy all three books in paperback。 These are keepers！ If you love plausible spiritual warfare and frighteningly authentic military thrillers， Dark Fall， and I suspect the whole series， are a must！ I received a complimentary eBook copy from Tyndale via #NetGalley for my honest review。 。。。more

Like the other two books in the Shepherds series， this one was excellent， especially in the later part of the book。 I listened to the audiobook and this narrator was outstanding。 These books show that Christian-based thrillers can be as good or better than secular ones。 These books really make you think about the invisible world we live in。

I was really excited for this series to continue， but it seemed like a lot of the same relationship issues as book 2 and it got bogged down in tactical details in the middle。 The beginning and end were really good though。

Interesting take on good vs evil。 Not everyone’s cup of tea though as it definitely has a strong Christian plot throughout the action thriller。

Good vs Evil with an interesting logic for the domination of the world。 Page turner for sure with likable characters。 Not all black and white this time。 Demons with redeemable qualities？ No。

What is the genre？Thriller， sci-fi， religion or what。 Interesting story with of course the inevitable SEAL （and I do love them） who’s heroics save the day。 I prefer Ben Porter， a slightly overweight affable semi-FBI type in False Assurances， Threat Bias， Subversive Addiction and Vital Deception。

Dark Fall is the exciting finish to this trilogy。 A hideous new weapon has been developed by the Dark Ones， a weapon to not only kill， but to make the death look like the wrath of God in order to weaken people's faith。 If you have not read the first two books， do that now。 It will be hard to understand what's going on otherwise。 This is Christian fiction so be prepared for a lot of discussions about God and faith。 However， the violence and occasional bit of harsh language is more than typically Dark Fall is the exciting finish to this trilogy。 A hideous new weapon has been developed by the Dark Ones， a weapon to not only kill， but to make the death look like the wrath of God in order to weaken people's faith。 If you have not read the first two books， do that now。 It will be hard to understand what's going on otherwise。 This is Christian fiction so be prepared for a lot of discussions about God and faith。 However， the violence and occasional bit of harsh language is more than typically found in Christian fiction though much less than found in thriller books of this nature。 Jed is a great character， and the Shepherds concept is fascinating。 I hope to see them again。 。。。more

The fight intensifies for the Shepherds and the Watchers with a weapon that could destroy them all in Dark Fall。Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson raise the stakes in the third installment of their series as the Shepherds seek an unseen enemy and the Watchers discover their own strengths。I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series with its paramilitary element， the kids who are helping them in a different way， and the spiritual warfare element that harkens to Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness。 I appre The fight intensifies for the Shepherds and the Watchers with a weapon that could destroy them all in Dark Fall。Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson raise the stakes in the third installment of their series as the Shepherds seek an unseen enemy and the Watchers discover their own strengths。I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this series with its paramilitary element， the kids who are helping them in a different way， and the spiritual warfare element that harkens to Frank Peretti’s This Present Darkness。 I appreciate that the authors don’t shy away from the ugliness and determination of evil forces to destroy the light in God’s people。 While there are some theological questions around the book， it is a work of fiction， so I can overlook those。But while this is a fictional story， the destroyer is very real in this world as evidenced by so much hurt， violence， and tragedy seen today。 The entire Shepherds series is a good reminder that we must be vigilant to stand firm in our faith and suit up with the full armor of God。Disclosure statement: I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book and was not required to write a positive or negative review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Dark Fall， and this captivating story does not disappoint！ The story arc that began in Dark Intercept is concluded here in spectacular fashion。 The authors' tight writing style is perfect for the military thriller genre， with details and descriptions that put you right in the middle of the action。 The character development is excellent， shown especially through Jed's growth into his leadership role and Sarah Beth's courage in facing off with the enemy。 I have been eagerly awaiting the release of Dark Fall， and this captivating story does not disappoint！ The story arc that began in Dark Intercept is concluded here in spectacular fashion。 The authors' tight writing style is perfect for the military thriller genre， with details and descriptions that put you right in the middle of the action。 The character development is excellent， shown especially through Jed's growth into his leadership role and Sarah Beth's courage in facing off with the enemy。 I love the spiritual warfare component and how clearly it shows the stark contrast between good and evil， light and darkness。 If you love high-stakes suspense mixed with profound truths that will make you see your faith in a new way， don't miss this series！I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

Highly recommended。 Tremendous stuff。 A thrilling， gripping， page-turning finale。 The book ended too quickly， like the first two in the series did。 All this from a guy who isn't religious。 Just flat-out good story telling， and brilliant military action/tradecraft。 Apparently there's another Shepherds book due in 2024？ That's too long to wait。 Highly recommended。 Tremendous stuff。 A thrilling， gripping， page-turning finale。 The book ended too quickly， like the first two in the series did。 All this from a guy who isn't religious。 Just flat-out good story telling， and brilliant military action/tradecraft。 Apparently there's another Shepherds book due in 2024？ That's too long to wait。 。。。more

Another amazing addition to this series。 Truly amazing。I'm really not sure what else to say about this series because I have already gushed and gushed for the first two books。 I have really come to love and respect this writing duo and am always impressed with the quality of their books。 What I like the most about this series is that is has such an interesting dichotomy in its subject matter。 There is the CIA Action thriller/genre aspect to it that we have come to expect from this writing team， Another amazing addition to this series。 Truly amazing。I'm really not sure what else to say about this series because I have already gushed and gushed for the first two books。 I have really come to love and respect this writing duo and am always impressed with the quality of their books。 What I like the most about this series is that is has such an interesting dichotomy in its subject matter。 There is the CIA Action thriller/genre aspect to it that we have come to expect from this writing team， then there is the tie in to the REAL fight between good and evil and more specifically， between God and the other guy。 Real evil is honestly MUCH scarier to me than a normal supernatural book about witches or vampires。 I think that is what has me intrigued and I love the path that this story arc is taking， even while it can also scare me at the same time。 This book jumps everything up to another level and we have the "big" battle that we knew was coming。 With that being said， even with that ending， I do not think we are anywhere near done with this fight。 Unfortunately， when you are able to vanquish one of the big bads， there is always another villain that can and usually does step up to take their place。Unfortunately， this is not a stand alone but honestly， you wouldn't want to jump in in the middle of the story。 I would HIGHLY recommend finding the first book and starting from there。 You will NOT be disappointed。This series has been narrated by MacLeod Andrews and to me， that is just ANOTHER win。 They are batting 1000 with me and now， I will be eagerly awaiting for the next book。 。。。more

The powerhouse duo of Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson have done it again with Dark Fall！ One of the most action-packed， adrenaline laced thrillers I have read this year。The Shepherds are called in on a mission after a village in Peru is found in ashes leading them to question if it is from a human weapon or some higher power。 Jedidiah Johnson is the leader of the group and as they head to investigate rumors of a new energy-based weapon， tensions mount as the weapon is unlike anything any of the The powerhouse duo of Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson have done it again with Dark Fall！ One of the most action-packed， adrenaline laced thrillers I have read this year。The Shepherds are called in on a mission after a village in Peru is found in ashes leading them to question if it is from a human weapon or some higher power。 Jedidiah Johnson is the leader of the group and as they head to investigate rumors of a new energy-based weapon， tensions mount as the weapon is unlike anything any of them have ever dealt with。 The team heads to Hong Kong to try and find a scientist that helped create the weapon but what they learn from Dr。 Zhao is that things are worse than they imagined。 Dark Fall is the third book in The Shepherd Series book and each time I pick one of these books up I shouldn’t be surprised by how amazing they are but am always blown away by the writing of Andrews and Wilson。 The way these two come together to write these military thrillers keep me on the edge of my seat and up way past my bedtime。 Jedidiah Johnson is the perfect protagonist to lead these stories。 In a way he reminds me of Hondo from SWAT， or Gibbs from NCIS; a great leader and all-around fantastic character。 Each book in the series has proven to get better and better with more explosive plots， characters that pull at the heartstrings and so much more。 This story had all the right points and the best tension I have read in a very long time with none of the normal drudgery that so many books have included lately。 There was not a scene or chapter that didn’t feel right or pulled me out of the story。 This is a very different kind of book than a lot out right now and I love the feel of the unknown coming from what is written within these pages。 I recommend this book for fans of fast action， military， and supernatural thrillers。 I do also recommend reading the whole series to get the most out of the story。I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher。 The views and opinions expressed within are my own！ 。。。more

When I read this story， I had to keep reminding myself that this is FICTION - a very thrilling thriller of a one， no doubt about it， and there were， no holds barred。 Yet， one would not wish a believer in Jesus Christ to be confused about spiritual warfare。 We do not come against flesh and blood。。。Christian living is a supernatural battle。 So I take Dark Fall to be more of an allegory， although one will read some parts as if one has just listened to the news。There are Dark Ones in this tale， whic When I read this story， I had to keep reminding myself that this is FICTION - a very thrilling thriller of a one， no doubt about it， and there were， no holds barred。 Yet， one would not wish a believer in Jesus Christ to be confused about spiritual warfare。 We do not come against flesh and blood。。。Christian living is a supernatural battle。 So I take Dark Fall to be more of an allegory， although one will read some parts as if one has just listened to the news。There are Dark Ones in this tale， which are people possessed by demons and these people are using actual weaponry that can be seen， touched， and fired， used to defeat and kill those who stand in their way， especially against those who love， fear， and have faith in God and Jesus。 These believers fight back。 On top of this， the Dark Ones have their own agenda and use a newly acquired weapon of incineration， aimed at creating terror and chaos。When one keeps Scripture in mind about spiritual warfare， one can then relax， ummm， well， no， be terrified right along with the good guys like the Shepherds and Watchers， as things heat up and pan out。 I found the storyline gives an excellent idea of what Christians are up against in fighting against the evil principalities and powers of the air; thus my idea and of mention of 'allegory'。 Should you choose to read this gripping， action-packed novel， gird your loins and hope you have an "easy day"。 Additionally， it is good to note that the authors， Jeffrey Wilson and Brian Andrews， create strong characters based on their own active duty training and experiences。 In fact， they write in support and honor of comrades-in-arms， in association with their faith in Christ。 I salute them！ They have written multiple books together and if this one is any indication of the others， I believe any potential readers will NOT be disappointed with any of them， including this one。 There are rather a number of acronyms scattered throughout the book so it is helpful to have a glossary in the addenda。 ~ Eunice C。， Reviewer/Blogger ~ August 2022Disclaimer: This is my honest opinion based on the review copy sent by NetGalley and the publisher。 。。。more
