Synopsis
In this gripping action-adventure novel, fact and fiction intertwine as six battle-hardened Marines embark on a perilous mission that challenges their faith, loyalty, and understanding of history. When an ancient artifact is discovered that could rewrite the story of Jesus Christ, these Marines are thrust into a world of international intrigue, religious controversy, and life-threatening danger.
As they race against time and shadowy forces, the team must navigate treacherous terrain, both physical and moral. Will they succeed in their mission, or will the truth be lost forever? “Kidnapping Jesus” explores themes of faith, duty, and the thin line between historical fact and religious belief.
Ensuring Military Accuracy in Fiction
As veterans of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army respectively, we, David B. Barnard and Samuel Brodie, took on the challenge of writing “Kidnapping Jesus” with a commitment to portraying military operations and culture with utmost accuracy.
In this blog post, we’d like to share our approach to ensuring military authenticity in our novel, and why we believe it’s crucial for the story’s credibility and impact.
“We wanted readers to feel like they were right there with our characters, experiencing the tension, camaraderie, and challenges of a high-stakes military operation.” – David B. Barnard
Balancing Accuracy with Storytelling
While we were committed to military accuracy, we also recognized the need to balance
this with the demands of storytelling. There were times
when we had to make choices between absolute realism and narrative flow.
“Our goal was to maintain the
spirit and essence of military operations while crafting a compelling story that would engage both veteran and civilian readers alike.” – Samuel Brodie
We believe this approach allows readers to immerse themselves in the story without being jolted out of the experience by inaccuracies or overly technical details.
