False Flag

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

By: Mark Goodwin

Narrated by: 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.

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.

Couldnt stop listening

Mark Goodwin is my favorite author. All his books are accurate, engaging and keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect story line for the current state of affairs of the world.

It's what we all know is coming.

This story is like watching a black and white movie for the first time in full color. The writer gives a bleak look into a very possible future which will pluck your nerves and harden your heart. A great quick listen look forward to more. The voice actress was very good as well. 😁

Mark Goodwin is always good.

Markel Goodwin does it again

Another fantastic story that is ripped from the headlines of today’s news! Can’t wait for the next two books!

Start of another good series…

Really like the style of Mark Goodwin. Have enjoyed all his previous works. American Wasteland, though fiction, is so close to the possibilities of today. Jennifer is a really together entrepreneur so when her old friend Lucas shows up after his raw deal from the military, you know it is going to be a ride…
Anxious to read the next in the series!
