WHERE WERE YOU THE DAY KENNEDY WAS SAVED?
On the 50th 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: 50th 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 …
My Review
I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.
It's an extraordinary book. It is a story of a very different kind of time travel: typically found in fantasy, but here it seems real, possible. It 's a novel that leaves his mouth open page after page, between twists and new adventures.
We are in 2000. Cady is a young actress of soap operas and was soon fired. She had a hard enough life: she has an ex-husband who is also her agent, a mom in need of treatment: she never resigned herself to her husband's disappearance. Cady has never known her father, he has disappeared in Dallas on the same day of the assassination of Kennedy. The mother has spent a lot of money to look for it, to get some information about its possible end. She receives a job offer very unusual: she has to go back in time, in 1963 and recover the Bible on which Vice President Lyndon Johnson had sworn ON AIR Force One. It's disappearance, was never returned to Kennedy. Cady refuses but after her mother's death and after talking with the son of her new employer decides to accept: will have the chance to know her father and may be able to avoid to her mother a life of suffering. It is shipped in 1963: is Sunday, November 17 and there are 5 days at the day of the murder. She went immediately to her parents' house and finally knows her father but does not seem to be the same wonderful man of the stories of her mother. Se decides to try to save the life of the President. Will it succeed?
The authors have studied a lot and did several searches: can be seen from many details. It 's a novel in which fiction and fantasy are mixed in a perfect way as not to stand out more from each other. It 's fascinating, enagaging and intriguing. It 's really well written, with excellent dialogue and well developed characters
I highly recommend it
