BoonDOGgle: A Novel Noire de Société by Richard Lord
Well, we destroyed our human existence and almost the whole planet. "Intelligent Design" indeed. Dogs now have the run of the place.
Humans were not good stewards of the Earth. Governing a planet requires competent concern and care, and while humans had intelligence and canniness, they had not wisdom or veracity. Will dogs do any better? Can canines make any more of this soon God-forsaken planet than humans?
What about God? What does God have to do with this Planet of the Dogs? What was God thinking and doing?
What about the Bible and its “Book of Revelations” as well as the Book of Mormon? What about the triple whammy advent of a viral pandemic, racial injustice and discord, and federal governmental incompetence and malfeasance for unleashing Armageddon? What of God’s promise of a New Jerusalem as Heaven on Earth for the righteous, and are the worthy humans?
Dog-Eat-Dog World
Observe and contemplate the Earth ruled by dogs. The world of the dog is indeed a wild and wondrous place where those dirty humans get a well-deserved comeuppance for despoiling Mother Earth, their cruelty to animals including themselves, and their disobedience to God. Indeed, the crazy world of the canine is not unlike the inanity and insanity of humankind at our demise. How then on God’s once green Earth can there be a “harmonious outcome” for any Earthly living creature? Seek and ye shall find within Boondoggle.
Book Reviews
A Five-Start Amazon review reads, “This page turner will have you holding your seats for dear life! Richard adroitly weaves real life figures into the gripping tale of canine dominance. What will happen as a result of this interspecies battle? You will have to read it to find out!”
The online IndieReader says of BoonDOGgle, "Richard Lord’s BoonDOGgle is a creative and interesting idea, with a solid crack at worldbuilding, and a vigorous and lively style about what would happen if dogs developed human-level intelligence and took over the world."
President Joe Biden writes, "I look forward to writing the next great chapter in American history with you."
Congressman and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer writes, “The themes you discussed are compelling and philosophical, and I thank you for your creative talents producing meaningful works for the community.”
