Black Swan The Complete Box Set : A Saga of America's Coming Financial Nightmare
The Death of the US Dollar will Mark the End of the World as We Know It!
Shane Black is trapped in New York and vicious protesters are burning the city to the ground. He has no gun, no way out, and he’s 1,000 miles from home.
America’s financial doomsday. A wayward son. The epic struggle to survive.
Country music icon Shane Black is this year’s headliner for the New Year’s Eve bash in Times Square, but when violent riots break out, he’ll need more than a six string to escape the maelstrom.
After decades of abuse as the world’s reserve currency, the US Dollar’s day of reckoning is at hand. Without a functioning monetary system to purchase basic goods, society rapidly descends into abject chaos. Protests, looting, and bloodletting take the place of civility in a country which is coming unhinged.
Thrust into an apocalyptic gauntlet of terror, Shane must resort to savage brutality to get out of Manhattan alive.
Could the impending currency collapse be the broken road that leads him home?
Shane left everyone and everything he knew to chase the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He found fortune and fame but can’t forgive himself for abandoning his hometown sweetheart, Julianna. She moved on years ago, but when Julianna shares a secret with Shane, it changes his life forever.
The coming economic meltdown will bring America to her knees.
The impending pension crisis proves to be the catalyst which pushes the US economy to the brink. With no other tools at their disposal, the Federal Government is forced to print an unprecedented amount of new currency. Faith in the dollar erodes and the dominos start falling.
Don’t miss this chilling glimpse into America’s future. Read Black Swan, a pulse-pounding tale of redemption and survival, today!
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.
This is the complete three-book box set
Book Dysphoria
Book Carrion

QUITE AN EYE OPENER
As a Christian, I would have liked to see the characters a bit more dependent on God for direction and forbearance. As a reader, I found the plot to be well thought out and full of twists and turns. I loved the unexpected moments and the tough decisions that the characters were contemplating and their reasoning behind it. There was one area that I thought could have been expounded upon and that was the forest fire…why bring it into the picture if it was only going to be a red herring for battle? It never got addressed after its execution.
This series takes on a whole different persona than the author’s other stories. I still liked it and read each book one right after the other because it was still great in its own unique style. Recommend for decent , unexpected, and interesting storytelling!

November 26, 2022Remember, this is fiction. Just like every author, Mark Goodwin uses real-life events and other material as inspiration for his stories. It's fiction inspired by the non-fiction.
I really enjoy Mark Goodwin's writing. He writes for the veteran prepper and the novice. The political, secular, and Christian narratives unfold in the telling of his relatable stories. You'll recognize similar events to real-life current events without feeling like you're being fed a cheesy story. For a "Christian" book, it has some shocking scenes that I did not expect but was unexpectedly pleased with.

One of the best in all the series!
Although there is a lot of killing in these books, they keep ones interest throughout. It reflects society's downward spiral as the economy forces everyone to either kill or be killed; to fight for freedom or to live as slaves. I highly recommend all of Mark Goodwin's books!!

Action Packed!
As always Mark delivers an action filled story with very real and emotional human characters. Love his imagination and yet it’s realistic or seems possible that the end could happen like that. I am not crazy over all the shooting and killing, but it is a time of war and the collapse of society. On to the next book!

Black Swan The Complete Box Set.
I enjoyed this entire series. Just thinking about how the demise of America could go down if our economy falls, is frightening. Knowing that one day it is going to happen is another thing. This story plays out during an unstable (to say the least) economic collapse of our government, and how people stood up to keep their small town free.

Action Romance Survivalism & Conservative Values
This is strong, fast-action writing with conservative social commentary, survival tactics, and solid traditional values, written in a clean yet gripping fashion.

Great read!
I can’t get enough of Mr Godwin’s stories. Feeds my soul with God. I bond with so many characters in his stories but I wish not so many died. I love listening to Kevin Pierce narrate.

This series follows Shane Black, a man caught in the chaos of a collapsing America triggered by the death of the US dollar. With a runtime of 17 hours and 40 minutes, the audiobook delivers a pulse-pounding narrative that’s hard to pause.
Shane, a former country rock star, navigating a dystopian America brought to its knees by an economic meltdown and an EMP attack. The series explores a chillingly plausible scenario where hyperinflation, corrupt local governments, and societal breakdown force characters to make tough moral choices. Goodwin’s storytelling is rooted in his Christian worldview, with scripture references opening each chapter and themes of faith and redemption woven throughout. While the conservative and religious undertones are prominent, they add depth to the characters’ motivations, though they may not resonate with all listeners. The plot is fast-paced, filled with action, suspense, and unexpected twists.
Goodwin’s strength lies in crafting relatable characters and a believable apocalyptic setting.
Kevin Pierce’s narration is a standout, earning consistent praise for bringing the story to life. His gravelly, measured delivery perfectly suits the gritty tone, and he skillfully differentiates characters, making it easy to follow the ensemble cast. Pierce’s pacing enhances the tension, especially during action sequences, and his ability to convey emotion adds depth to quieter moments.
