American Wasteland: The Complete Box Set

A Grid-Down, Post-Apocalyptic Saga

De: Mark Goodwin

Narrado por: Stacey Glemboski

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”– John Philpot Curran

Struggling to keep her small Atlanta restaurant afloat, Jennifer Martin is blindsided when a ghost from her past resurfaces—uncovering a chilling conspiracy to depopulate America and the globe.

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, 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. Grab your copy now—before it’s too late.

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.

I couldn’t stop listening to…

This is a powerful author it’s been written realistically. I could feel myself there…. I can’t wait to start the next series.

A Meat-eating, gun-toting, Christian Right Polemic .

I have enjoyed Goodwin’s stories many times before, but this one is a tone deaf, Church Militant assault on Biblical Christianity, that is just too full of offensive moments to go into the second book.

In these last days, Christian writers should be concentrating on prophecy, on being ready to face persecution with strong and practiced faith, and on being examples of virtue and the fruits of the Spirit that once inspired the Church fathers and the spread of God’s Word throughout the world.

It’s not the Marxist left, but the Fascist, Christian Right that threatens America now. They preach self-defense, self-sufficiency, and pride—the 7th Deadly Sin. Self-righteousness is the opposite of what Jesus taught.The world is caught up in the war between the two evils of Marxism and Fascism, but salvation depends on obedience only to the Lord God, upon believing that it is the way of the Cross, not the American Way or any other eathly way that leads to Heaven.

The World is ending while we watch! But people don’t see it, because they are distracted by the Social Gospel and climate change. It’s not just fossil fuels that are causing the increase in catastrophic events. It’s sin, as the Creator defines it in the Bible. Did you really think God would continue to protect a world where countries think murdering millions of the unborn is a responsible way to reduce population?

Put your treasure, your trust, your faith where the Bible says it won’t be destroyed by mortal means. You can’t serve God and the world. And especially now—the world has very little time left, so your only chance to live is to trust Jesus.

Great characters

That it is fairly realistic of what we could face if the world doesn’t get it’s shxx together.

reality if the story

well written
I have listen to a lot of post apoclypse books
Good won tells chilling stories without using colorful words .he uses Bible verses to show the reality of what could happen

another great series from Goodwin

Not my favorite of his, but still a mostly compelling read. Mark is a great writer. if you like this series, you'll love his entire catalog probably more.

Close to reality

Love Goodwin view of the world stage. Many people unaware how close we are to this happening. Missed kevin pierce, but as MC female, the narrator makes sense. Although not my favorite of the Goodwin series definitely worth the credit

Great story lines

I liked the fact that they didn’t use fowl language and the characters had good morals

Engaging Characters

Good story. Different spin on post-apocalyptic scenario. The characters were made to come to life. I really appreciated no foul language!

Not Goodwin's best

I struggled to finish this series from an author I usually can't get enough of. Was left disappointed about half way through the first book and never bounced back.

Loved This Series

I loved the narration and the overall story. It keeps the reader engaged and draws you in right from the start. Yes you have to give the main character a (woman) a little leeway in being the main character to lead a revolution. But I loved how the author put it together.
