While the Babylon Bee is renowned for creating fake and mock headlines centered on Christian News Satire for entertainment, sadly the real terrorism headlines are concerning for everyone all over the globe.
Joseph M Lenard, author of a bestselling historical fiction novel, "Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You", has announced a partnership with The Babylon Bee. In the tradition of other satire sites such as The Onion, The Bee has everyone and everything on their radar, from President Trump to Joel Osteen, Zelensky, Biden and The Rings of Power. As stated on their website, "The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life."
That long list includes terrorism, which is why bestselling author Lenard decided to partner with The Bee.
“I have loved parody and satire my entire life and also engaged in development of meme satirical absurdities with a biting point about reality myself,” says Joseph M Lenard “but never to the ‘new degree’ that Babylon Bee has taken the art to.” Which is why he feels such a partnering makes perfect sense. The degree of seriousness of our times calls for the need to maintain a sense-of-humor or we’d be curled up in a corner in the fetal position crying all the time out of fear. Which raises a serious point about Terror Strikes, meant to be about life and living and not death, a warning and sound advice, without trying to engage in mainstream-media style ‘fear-porn’ reporting.
Joe maintains that philosophy of ‘everything in moderation’ aspects of life and love versus the hate and death, fun balanced against seriousness, even amidst some very somber pages in “Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You” ensuring there is a degree of humor therein also; which again makes the blend of his fact and fiction, (which he calls a “FACTion” genre), a good fit with the Bee blend of fiction to make serious points.
"Terror Strikes" will have a prominent placement in The Bee’s October, email edition, Newsletter “Babylon’s Best” section.
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”, “definitive book on this topic of our time”, “a much needed wake-up call”, 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 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".
Honor. Integrity. Patriotism. -- For some people these are words. For bestselling author Joseph M Lenard, these are the core values that he embodies – every day - deeply ingrained in every facet of his life and work.
It is this set of cherished values he brings to life in this #1 bestselling historical fiction novel.
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.”
Whether you are a staunch conservative, a prepper (ready for the worst), or just have concerns about what is happening in American life and society today, "Terror Strikes" will answer many of the questions you have regarding terrorism, foreign and domestic, and will make for a remarkable reading experience.
