False Flag

A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of America's Impending Demise (American Wasteland, Book 1)

De: Mark Goodwin

Narrado por: Stacey Glemboski

It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.

John Philpot Curran

Jennifer Martin struggles to keep her small business afloat in the aftermath of a global pandemic. But when a blast from the past informs her of a plan to take down America, she realizes the pandemic was only the opening act. Death and destruction hang like a dark cloud over the horizon. Jennifer must steel herself for the trouble to come.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

Government intervention during the pandemic has weakened the economy and the social fabric of the nation. Nevertheless, bureaucrats and lawmakers refuse to change course and double down on the failed policies that have crippled the country. Rising prices and labor shortages are pushing Jennifer Martin’s small Atlanta restaurant to the brink of destruction.

A bitter red pill.

After years of being out of touch, Lucas McIntosh shows up at Jennifer’s doorstep. He tells her about his dishonorable discharge from the Army, and about the purge designed to cleanse the military of patriots and conservatives.

New laws serve to exacerbate the growing food shortage in America. Paired with crippling inflation, the scarcity triggers food riots across the country.

And a fatal false flag.

Shortly after the riots are brought under control, a cyber-attack brings down the electrical grid sending the country into total chaos. The assault is blamed on a group of malcontents who believe the last US election was rigged. But Lucas believes this narrative is only a ruse intended to further divide the fractured nation.

With so many already in dire straits, the power outage pushes people to the edge. The crisis brings out the worst in humanity, turning average citizens into desperate savages. Jennifer and her small group of friends will have to stick together and be smart if they have any hope of surviving the turmoil.

Don't miss this post-apocalyptic thrill ride set in America's near future. Get your copy today!

As with all works 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.

Ripped from the Headlines

Seriously, I feel like I am reading fiction-nonfiction. I pray eyes will open to what is actually happening in the US. This book is written for such a time as this in the US. There are some really great quotes and sources to support the storyline. All that said, I trust God and know whatever happens it has not taken God by surprise. Trust God and get prepared. It is real this book is what’s happening in the US today.

As usual I am looking forward to the next installment. I will also be purchasing the paperback copy when it comes out.

My only complaint is the story is NOT 7 hrs and 14 mins. The actual story is 6 hrs and maybe 30 something minutes. The additional time is spent on listing Mark’s other titles and giving the overview of each series.

whoa...

One chapter in and I'm already reminded why I read EVERY SINGLE TITLE written by Mark Goodwin. Even if this novel levels out, it will still be better than reading anything other than the Bible. Thank you in advance! Keep 'em coming!

Great Book!

Thank you for your continued writing with fresh material. Looking forward to #2 and #3.

always great

always waiting for the next mark goodwin book.
iv got them all. also the podcast

Stay Focused People be Prepared

This was very enlightening again. Mark does another great job. Cannot wait for Book 2 to come this Spring. Like I said in the up top. Stay focused and be prepared. This is coming. Keep up the great work Mark.

Real Life …..

This story could very well happen in the very near future. The story sets up and explains what has happened in the last year and how it could progress in the very near future if we set back and let it. Can’t wait for the next in the series

EXCELLENT BOOK

Another 5star book that seem to be pulled straight from today’s news headlines. I really like the female narrator and storyline. Wake up American this reality is knocking at our door.

Fantastic as Ever

Fantastic as Ever! I can hardly wait until book 2. I'm so ready to continue the storyline.

Great start to a too realistic new series.

This one starts at about the point society is at right now. It makes you think about what you'd do should the government make similar decisions, such as meat regulation and mandates. With the current supply shortages, it's not far from the realm of possibility.

I also like how Mark sneaks in all these true events and facts into the story, such as SPARS, lock step and 201. Let's hope we dont reach this point IRL.

scary

I read a lot of these types of books, usually frustrated with the story/ ending but this one finished up nicely. couple of complaints but can't launch them here without giving spoilers
