Thanks to my new Friend Deb for this great review...
My husband [whose Editorial review appears on Amazon] handed me a copy of "Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You" once he was finished reading and told me I needed to read it. So glad I did. Indeed a very "distinct" and "different" book from the usual Politically biased fare available today.
I read the reviews and saw how Mr. Lenard was more being personally attacked than the substance of his book refuted, which is understandable when people cannot refute details then engage in personal assault. As for his Grammatical style? It is in-line with Dean Koontz, Brian Herbert, S T Joshi, and others; as outlined on the Terror Strikes website "ScoreIt" subpage [ https://TerrorStrikes.info/ScoreIt ]; do they attack them too? Doubtful.
As for other aspects of Mr. Lenard's "writing style?" It is very much in-line with many others that use the narrative and/or descriptive (per page by percentage) versus formulaic "proportion of dialog in novels" (U-Penn report); of which Hemingway is considered the master of dialog writing. Personally I think some use to just pad page-count, or convey something they otherwise have trouble descriptively delivering, rather than enhance story. Do people criticize Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code" written with same styling? Books with zero dialog include the likes of "The Notebook" (N. Sparks), "The Road" (C. McCarthy), "The Great Gatsby," "Catcher in the Rye," Classics, and more!
So, yes, as one other reviewer listed on the Terror Strikes reviews page says - this book does not engage in a lot of dialog. In my opinion, it didn't need to. For my part, I greatly enjoy both stylings, but books like this are indeed the smaller part of the market, while others follow the Pack. Both make for great reads, for different reasons.
I for one am happy Joseph M Lenard's "Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You" has the courage to take the path less tread in his adoptive style.

A bit lighter to go with my GONE TOO SOON piece and @ladydevil WHERE YOUR LIGHT STILL FINDS US tunes is now my DON'T WAIT (TIL IT'S TOO LATE) piece. I think I could have played with, tweaked, the musical theme to better go with the lyrics, want an "urgency" sound not sure this fully captures that or not?!?!

one breath, one chance, one name
