Review: Slingshot (David Shepherd Thrillers #1) by Judah Lamb

Slingshot

David Shepherd Thrillers #1

by Judah Lamb

Published: February 13, 2025

Genre: Contemporary, Christian Fiction, Conspiracy Thrillers


Blurb:


A forgotten war hero. A viral prophecy. A race for his life.

David Shepherd, haunted by a battlefield trauma, finds solace helping injured and homeless veterans.

But a viral video of him confronting a powerful politician sparks a movement. A movement that gains momentum thanks to a fiery prophecy by an enigmatic preacher.

David finds himself thrust into a high-stakes political race he never wanted.

His message of compassion and reform ignites the public imagination, but it also triggers a desperate response from those who fear change.

As David's popularity grows, so do the threats. His investigation into corruption leads him down a dark path, where truth hides behind a veil of bullets and betrayal.

Can David survive long enough to expose the conspiracy and become the leader he didn't ask to be?

Slingshot is the first book in this fast-paced, action-packed Christian thriller series. Think David Baldacci, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, and Lee Child meet Colleen Coble, and Lynette Eason. This is a modern-day re-telling of the King David story. The establishment will stop at nothing to stop David Shepherd's rise to power - and assassination isn't off the table.

My Review:

Slingshot tells the story of David Shepherd, detailing his life and the experiences he has encountered. David is an ex-soldier dedicating his life to God. He spends his time spreading the word of God and helping others in every way he can.

David decides to run for the Senate. He is uncertain about his ability to be a politician because everyone knows that politics and religion don’t mix—or do they? Perhaps they can, but only if approached carefully. David hopes that by becoming a senator, he can seize the opportunity to spread the word and assist others; after all, this is his main purpose in life.

Slingshot captivated me from the first page and maintained my interest in David’s story. I enjoyed learning about David’s life and his efforts to stay on the right path while helping others do the same. He had a big heart and worked hard to remain grounded.

Slingshot kept me engaged enough that I want to read the next book in the David Shepherd Thrillers series to discover what awaits David around the next corner.
