Mike Baron and Blaine Pardoe are working together on an exciting new book project. Tapping into Baron’s experience with The Punisher and Pardoe’s with the Blue Dawn series, they are creating a new character for today’s troubled times. The first book, Tenure, is being written now.
A mix of Jack Reacher and the Mack Bolan of the Executioner book series; Braxton Knox is a man caught in the crossfire of the culture war gripping the United States. He embodies what happens when a good man is pushed too far. When he loses what is important in his life, he doesn’t take it lying down. He’s fighting back.
“I think a lot of people that have seen the woke of the cancel culture try and ruin people’s lives. Certainly I have experienced it personally and professionally. This character is authentic and will appeal with readers who understand that things have gone too far, culturally. Braxton is a hero for the modern age,” says Pardoe.
Mike Baron’s take on the project offers a glimpse into the storyline. “Vigilantes have always played an important part in American history. There was no law as Americans pushed west to spread civilization. Not all vigilantes are good, but many were. Davy Crockett, Wyatt Earp, and Kit Carson were vigilantes.
“The United States was founded as an escape from tyranny,” Mike Baron continued, “and the Founding Fathers knew that it could always happen here. They did everything they could to preserve liberty and prosperity but human nature doesn’t change, and the country we live in bears little resemblance to the one in which we grew up. Every day, the US inches toward totalitarianism with unaccountable bureaucrats and dubiously elected officials pushing us toward a precipice.”

“The intolerance and malice of the ruling class is evident for all to see. It seems out government hates us and wants us to suffer,” Mike Baron also said. “Why else would they invite millions of illegal aliens, untested and unvetted, into our country and reward them with free health care, food, lodging, and prepaid credit cards at the expense of the American people? As Andrew Breitbart said, politics is downstream from culture. Conservatives haven’t been paying attention. But now we must. The stories we tell are about ordinary Americans fighting back.”
Blaine Pardoe and Mike Baron have both been victims of cancel culture, with Blaine Pardoe coming from Battletech fame, dealing with the company canceling him over false claims made by an unhinged online stalker, as detailed in his blog. Because Blaine Pardoe was an outspoken conservative, his publisher wouldn’t listen to him nor address his concerns.
Mike Baron, meanwhile, has dealt with an online hate mob harassing him over his Private American book, which subsequently got banned from Kickstarter due to their false-flag reporting on his campaign.
Both men are some of the best and most fan-beloved in their fields, with Blaine Pardoe’s Battletech being hailed as some of the best on the property, and Mike Baron’s Punisher being the definitive run on the character. With a high-action book promised with Braxton Knox, fans will be delighted to see the two heavy hitters teaming up to create something wonderful.
