Divided We Fall

A Novel of the Coming Civil War in America

2018

A Stolen Election. An Unlikely Heroine. The Second American Civil War. When Ava is snatched from the hands of violent agitators by the ominous man who has been stalking her, she fears her fate may be worse than death. Ava's had a hard life . . . and it's about to get a whole lot tougher! Trouble seems to follow Ava wherever she goes. The onset of the Second American Civil War should be no different. Caught in a vicious protest, she’ll have to do the unthinkable to stay alive. Life only gets more difficult for Ava when she spots a sinister figure watching her every move. Who is the strange man with the scar on his face and what does he want from Ava? Don’t miss this chilling tale of America’s Civil War 2.0! The tentacles of the deep state have infiltrated every facet of American culture. The public education system, entertainment industry, and mainstream media have all been hijacked by a shadow government intent on fomenting a communist revolution in the United States. The antagonistic message of this agenda has poisoned the minds of America’s youth who are convinced that capitalism and conservatism are responsible for all the ills of the world. Violent protest and widespread destruction will bring America to her knees. The war threatens to decapitate the laws, principles, and values on which the country was founded. As with all books 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.

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

Communist agitators have stolen the election by intimidating voters from key states. A far-left socialist candidate has seized the reins of power and his designs against the republic are absolute.

Ava’s group will launch an insurgency campaign against the occupying force in Texas, but they’ll have to watch out for agents who have been tasked with purging the patriots. Her team cannot fail in their mission to liberate the Lone Star State. If Texas falls, America’s demise is all but certain. Don’t miss the epic continuation of this post-apocalyptic thrill ride!

United We Stand

2018

The worst has happened. Texas has fallen. It’s up to Ava to get it back. Without the support of Lone Star State, the Alliance has no hope against the powerful and corrupt regime which has hijacked the majority of the United States. Still mourning her loss, Ava has seen more death and destruction than she ever bargained for. She’s finished with fighting, but she may hold the key to America’s survival. An unexpected visitor implores her to take on one last impossible task. If she turns down the request, it could spell the end of freedom and the Alliance, but if she accepts the challenge, victory is by no means guaranteed. Ava has endured as much heartache as she can handle, but if America dies, if the Alliance fails, things will only get worse. She has to make a choice, and she must act before the clock runs out. As with all books 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.
