Publisher's summary

When the rule of law fails, dishonest politicians get even dirtier. Shane and Julianna can’t compete with the debased dictators of Jackson County unless they are willing to bend a few rules of their own.

Shane Black escaped the city by the skin of his teeth. But his well-stocked mountain retreat is now the target of a local despot who gained his power through bribes, payoffs, and shady politics. Mayor Hayes had few scruples before the collapse. Now that he’s the only law around, he’s down-right ornery.

Road trips are always a bad idea in the apocalypse. But sometimes, it’s the only option.

Shane’s group spent a massive amount of resources battling it out with the corrupt local government. Without fuel to keep security patrols running, everything they fought for will be lost. Shane must head up a caravan in search of the vital commodity to keep the town alive. The trip promises peril at every turn, but if they don’t go, everyone is dead anyway.

The new world is fertile ground for old feelings.

Julianna and Shane are forced to work together closely. Will her heart soften toward him, or will she hang on to her grudge? Being so near to her yet feeling pushed so far away proves to be a thorn of constant sorrow for Shane. Despite his heartache, he mustn’t allow it to distract him from the mission at hand.

Don’t miss this heart-stopping tale of the coming currency collapse! Start listening today and get a glimpse of the dark future in store for America.

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

Great sequel !

Mark Goodwin/Kevin Pierce = fantastic. Well written with great the to first book.
Fraction and suspense.All woven together keep God at the forefront. Excellent narration.
Keep up the great work. I can't wait for book 3.

good story

my great complaint about this author and his series of stories is they are too segmented. The stories all seem to just "end", making you buy the next in the "series" simply to get the complete story line.

Mark Goodwin, Kevin Pierce best apocalypse team ever!

I appreciate Mark Goodwin’s writing expertise. There’s never a dull moment in any of his books. I can hardly put them down once I get started. If I were to find any issues at all, there would only be one. Even though Mark seems to be a writing machine, I keep running out of his awesome stories. Thanks Mark! You have kept us entertained and educated.

Another Awesome Goodwin Read

I always enjoy hearing prepper tidbits while listening to Mark Goodwin's books. Kevin Pierce as usual also did an outstanding job.

Fantastic!

Gonna start book 3, NOW!

Mark Goodwin is always an easy, exciting read. Emphasizing the need to be watchful & what can happen if you aren't prepared.

This Is a Phenomenal 2nd Book To This New Series!!

This Book Ended Up Turning Out To Be Very Good. I Was Very Upset First At The Senseless Killings In This Entire Audiobook. It Was Not Only That, It Was Also The Way He Was Treating The Handicapped Girl & Her Mother. But It Turns Out That He Never Really Did Want To Hurt Them. The Main Character Then Realized He Was Wrong & I Know He The Character Is Going To Probably Ask For Forgiveness Later. We All Should & Need To Ask For forgiveness Everyday Or Everytime We Accidentally Mess Up Or When We Fall Into Sin. That Is When We Know We Definitely Definitely Did Something Wrong. I Do Like The Fact That The Character That Played The Older Father & Also Dale Didn't Want To Shoot Anybody They Wanted Peace. So They Took Their Guns & Left Them Inside They Simply Just Put Them Down & Walked Out With There Hands In The Air & Said We Don't Want To Shoot Anybody. Also If You Guys Shoot At Us There's A Lot Of Innocent People & Children Inside.That Aren't Armed That Are Going To Get Hurt. So Let Us All Please Take Care Of This & Let Us All Remain Calm & Talk About This As Adults We Can All Get Along. Let's Do The Right Thing & As Our Savior Our Lord Jesus Says In His Holy Word To Treat Others How You Want To Be Treated. I Added That Last Part. That's What He's Talking About & How We All Truly Do Need That. I'm So Glad That Everything's Turning Out & Work Out So Well & They Got The People Out Of Office. But I Knew This Book Wasn't Over Yet Because It Was Only Halfway Through This Audiobook When That Ended That Part Of This Story. I Was Like This Is To Early For The Story To Be Over LOL!! LOL!!! LOL!!🤪😆😜. Because There Is Still a Little Over 2 & a Half Hours Remaining In This Book. Well Turns Out That Mark Goodwin Kinda Starts A Second Storyline After The End Of The First Storyline In This Book. The Beginning Of The New Storyline In The Second Half Of This Book Has Them Having To Go Out Of State. The Excitement When They Get On The Highway Then Thugs Tell Them To Pull Over & That They Need To Be Paying A Toll That These People Are Saying They Have To Pay & They're Explaining That They Demand That They Need 5 Gallons Of Gas Per Car Take Take The Highway And Cross The Bridge. Let's Just Say........... I Am Not Going To Say LOL!! So Everybody Needs To Really Read This Book & You'll See What Happens To The People Demanding The 5 Gallons Of Gas & What Happens To The People Driving The Car.

Great book!

As always, I loved his book. I appreciate the clean language and narrative. I just wish they were longer because I listened to it in one day while working! I live getting lost in these "what if" scenarios.

Expected nothing less

Another great book by Mark Goodwin, it is refreshing to listen to a story without all of the filth that so many have. Kevin Pierce is great as always too.

A wild ride.

This particular Mark Goodwin novel he is a bit shorter than his previous works, but it is a real page-turner. If you like Mark Goodwin’s other books, he will probably like this one as well. The story is fast-paced catch and somewhat more believable than some of his other stories, in certain ways. A good book overall, but a great audiobook with Kevin pierces wonderful performance.

Another great one

Another great book by Mark Goodwin! Kevin Pierce once again did a fantastic job. The only fault was when describing Ava's Crucible. Ava's Crucible is about America's coming second CIVIL War, and not her second world war. it's ok though still a fantastic performance though.
