Lenard’s gripping historical fiction novel is a political thriller detailing the life of a journalist who sets out to write a book about terrorism and gets more than he bargained for.
The best historical fiction books are those that tie into current events. This brings a sense of heart-pounding realism to the table that might be lacking in historical fiction novels that have little or no anchor in current reality. The headlines today, from the recent killing of Al Qaeda Leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri to the brazen attack on Salman Rushdie, dramatically illustrate that terrorism is not going away any time soon – most likely never. Terrorism will have wide-ranging effects on American society both now and in the future. Lenard gives us a glimpse into what has happened and what we can expect to happen.
Terror Strikes is not a book about death, but one about life and living, and of those enemies, both foreign and domestic, that would deprive others of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Billed as a book for conservatives, but appropriate for all readers, this extraordinary new book is a stunning achievement, set apart from even the best historical fiction books, as it clearly demonstrates the need for situational awareness and vigilance in a world in which mass shootings and other forms of terrorism have become the norm. Reviewers have called the book "compelling", "historically accurate", “philosophical”, “amazingly crafted”, and utterly "unique".
This book is intended for all audiences - young, old, male and female, religious and non-religious; political and non-political. Within the context of a chilling work of fiction, it shows us who the terrorists are, what they have done, what they are doing, and why they will never be able to be persuaded to stop.
Joseph M. Lenard shreds the “creative writing process formulaic methodologies” to create a writing style and literature like no other author before. The book has been compared to The Sum of All Fears meets Deep Impact.

Bruce Fleury wrote in the foreword of Terror Strikes: "Joe Lenard’s book Terror Strikes, although a work of fiction, is especially timely and topical… [He takes] on an international crisis that, if not addressed with more urgency, threatens to condemn our descendants to live in a 7th-Century nightmare from which there may very well be no awakening.”
