Publisher's summary

America has fallen, and Ava's band of misfits is all that stands between freedom and absolute tyranny.

Political division in the US has reached the boiling point, and the second American Civil War is underfoot. Communist agitators have been successful in their efforts to intimidate voters from key states. The worst has happened. A far-left socialist candidate has stolen the reins of power, and his designs against the republic are absolute. With a sympathetic Congress, he will sign in sweeping bans on firearms, criminalize free speech, and institute a new government agency to root out dissenters.

Ava's group pledges to launch an insurgency campaign against the occupying force in Texas, but will have to watch out for those who have been tasked with purging the patriots.

A handful of freedom-loving governors and congressmen take a stand against the tyrannical administration by seceding from the Union. They represent an America that wishes to live in peace and live free. But that idea flies in the face of everything the dictatorial regime holds dear.

Ava's team cannot fail in its mission to liberate Texas. If Texas falls, America's demise is all but certain.

As with all audiobooks 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.

interesting

Parts were slow, draw out and predictable; but the story over all was a true look at American's current civil unrest and what could happen.

Great follow up to the first book in the series!

Stacey Glemboski does a fantastic job reading this second book in the series and the storyline is excellent, just what I have come to expect from this author.

There are two things I didn't like about this book however; having to wait for it to come out after finishing book 1 in the series and now, I have to wait for the next book in the series to be published.....life as an audio book consumer just isn't fair!

Embers of Empire

Excellent. Engaging hours of listening and feeling as though you could be right beside the characters. Worth every minute. Onto book three. Enjoy, learn, and give Thanks.

Another stellar novel by Mark Goodwin

I'd love to see Stacey Glemboski narrate the whole Bible. Another great Goodwin novel though.

God please prevent this fearsome fate for America!

Join me in prayer to God that his will is for a peaceful resolution to the terrible times that Ava and we all are facing in the streets of our beloved nation today. Amen. Gripping, nauseating, all to real and close for comfort.

this series keeps getting better.

Mark Goodwin hits another homerun with this book. Listened beginning to end nonstop. The story keeps getting better as it moves along. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

Great read

Great story, I like the fact that the characters weren't already professional preppers. The reader was excellent. This series was my first time listening to her and I am very pleased with her performance. Thanks for another great story.. Keep them coming :)
