Lamentations for the Fallen: The Complete Box Set

A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of America’s Coming Economic and Societal Collapse

By: Mark Goodwin

Narrated by: Joe Geoffrey

How lonely sits the city that was full of people. How like a widow is she, who was great among the nations. The princess among the provinces has become a slave. Lamentations 1: 1

Caleb Webb is the dictionary definition of disadvantaged, and surviving on his own is nothing new. When the apocalypse hits, his rugged skill set for staying alive on the mean streets of Los Angeles comes in handy. Unfortunately, he's on a collision course with the worst criminal cartel in the city, unless someone intervenes.

After his addict mother dies of a fentanyl overdose, Caleb is forced to strike out on his own. He’s hit with the reality that the lifestyle he’s been living and the one that was modeled for him at home are both dead ends. Being catapulted into homelessness, Caleb determines not to get sucked into the despair and poverty that are ravishing the city of Los Angeles.

His dogged determination lands him a position working as a construction laborer. He dedicates himself to learning the trade and quickly wins the respect of his co-workers. Unfortunately, soaring inflation strikes the US economy with a catastrophic blow. Caleb’s employer is forced to shutter the business. He is unable to find work and slips back into criminal behaviors to survive.

Yet, something or someone won’t let him have any peace as long as he is involved in these illicit activities. He has few options. Z-Bub, the gangland kingpin that Caleb has fallen in with, is comfortable with violence and no stranger to killing those who cross him. If Caleb does the right thing, it could cost him his life. If he doesn’t, he fears it may cost him his soul. Whatever he decides, he’ll have to reach his conclusion amidst the backdrop of rolling blackouts, a complete currency collapse, food shortages, and a society that is coming unglued.

Good Listen

Not as good as his first books but still entertaining. I enjoy the narrators voice. He fits the story well.

Another great Mark Goodwin book!

It’s a good book, not my favorite Mark Goodwin book, but still good. Felt a little rushed at times, especially the ending, but he wrapped it up nicely in the end. Love the narrators voice. Keep up the great work Mark, once again, clean, conservative valued book!
