Publisher's summary

A stolen election. An unlikely heroine. The Second American Civil War.

When Ava is snatched from the hands of violent agitators by the ominous man who has been stalking her, she fears her fate may be worse than death.

Political discord between right and left has reached the flashpoint. Hostile rhetoric has given way to bloodshed and brutality.

The tentacles of the deep state have infiltrated every facet of American culture. The public education system, entertainment industry, and mainstream media have all been hijacked by a shadow government intent on fomenting a communist revolution in the United States. The antagonistic message of this agenda has poisoned the minds of America’s youth who are convinced that capitalism and conservatism are responsible for all the ills of the world. Violent protest and widespread destruction will bring America to her knees.

Ava's had a hard life . . . and it's about to get a whole lot tougher!

The deck is stacked against 29-year-old Ava. She’s a fighter, but she’s got trust issues and doesn’t always make the best decisions. Her personal complications aren’t without merit, but America is on the verge of a second Civil War, and Ava must pull it together if she wants to survive.

Trouble seems to follow Ava where ever she goes. The onset of the Second American Civil War should be no different. Caught in a vicious protest, she’ll have to do the unthinkable to stay alive.

Life only gets more difficult for Ava when she spots a sinister figure watching her every move. Who is the strange man with the scar on his face and what does he want with Ava?

Don’t miss this chilling tale of America’s Civil War 2.0! Start listening today and get a glimpse into the dark future in store for our country.

This is the complete three-book box set including:

  • Book One: Divided We Fall
  • Book Two: Embers of Empire
  • Book Three: United We Stand

As with all books by Mark Goodwin, this book contains no profanity and no embarrassing sex scenes. However, if you're offended by conservative principles and references to Scripture, this book might not be for you.

One of the best.....

This is by far one of the best books that I have listened to. Mark Goodwin is a great author and have enjoyed many of his books. This was no exception. The narrator did an excellent job. I found it very hard to stop listening. My 38 year old son actually recommended the book to me so just because it’s a female narrator it’s not a girls story. Would be a great book to listen to while traveling. It moves along at a fast pace. Definitely recommend the book. I wish there were more volumes.

outstanding series

This author has always been one of my favorites. One comes to care for the characters of the novels, and the story is one which may very well happen in our Republic some day. Other than the very minor error is describing the insignia of a major for that of colonel, the books are wonderful.

Another great Mark Goodwin book

Very good saga. It didn't have many redemptive scenes or characters and there was a lot of fighting amd bloodshed but overall very entertaining and hit way close to home.

Review:

Enough accuracy in the areas of weapons, tactics to keep you interested and not a bad storyline to boot. As a father of five children, I appreciate the spiritual/religious leanings.

Storyline is really good … however …

Eva’s character is very contrary… unable to just follow instructions , orders , she is a bit disappointing through out the books . I mean to be fooled three different times by Rachel!?? Really ? Anyway the storyline is very on point !!!
Love all the books by Mark Goodwin

A Woman’s Choice in Apoplectic America!

Ava’s Choice is the Boxed Set, a page-turner I couldn’t put down until the very last word! What happens when America fall? When the dollar means nothing? When Christians are severely persecuted? When terror reigns? When socialist America becomes Communist? This is seen by a an ordinary woman, a dental hygienist by profession. Her name is Ava Wilson. This is her exiting four book story of how she evolves in her choices to action in taking America back. If you are a Christian, a signs of the times follower, a follower of strong women genre, or a prepper, this book set is for you!

Another excellent series!

I was skeptical about this series but quickly was drawn in and loved it. Ava is an exceptional character. The story line is almost prophetic in my opinion. Looking forward to the next series!
Thank you Mark Goodwin!!

Adventurous, thrilling, yet clean reading

This was an adventurous, thrilling, yet clean read that you come to expect from Mr. Goodwin. Great character growth and of course the message of the gospel in realistic scenarios.
