This is the 10th anniversary re-edit of this book,

so it has a new release!

Synopsis:

WHERE WERE YOU THE DAY KENNEDY WAS SAVED?

On the 50^th anniversary of the JFK assassination comes a new edition of the extraordinary time-travel thriller first published in 2003, now extensively revised and re-edited, and with a new Afterword from the authors.

On November 22, 1963, just hours after President Kennedy’s assassination, Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as President aboard Air Force One using JFK’s own Bible. Immediately afterward, the Bible disappeared. It has never been recovered. Today, its value would be beyond price.

In the year 2000, actress Cady Cuyler is recruited to return to 1963 for this Bible—while also discovering why her father disappeared in the same city, on the same tragic day. Finding frightening links between them will lead Cady to a far more perilous mission: to somehow prevent the President’s murder, with one unlikely ally: an ex-Marine named Lee Harvey Oswald.

Forward to Camelot: 50^th Anniversary Edition brings together an unlikely trio: a gallant president, the young patriot who risks his own life to save him, and the woman who knows their future, who is desperate to save them both. 

History CAN be altered …

Review:

As a child of parents who were VERY much impacted by Kennedy's death, the assassination, and it's conspiracy theories, were a constant in my life.  The authors do a GREAT job of taking all the theories and mixing them up to a viable possibility, and then skewing the scenario and saying "what if he was saved, not shot?". What would be the domino effect? And there is the beauty of the book, as the reader takes all their personal knowledge and family history, and puts it against the changed in the scenario, and wonders what would have been different to them. So not only do you have a historical novel, you have science fiction, and science theory! If you love a book that will have you turning pages as fast as you, and asks you to think, 'what if?', this is the book for you!
