About this ebook
It was a terrible year; the Korean capture of the Pueblo, the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, the Klan killings, civil rights and anti-war riots in the streets, the Chicago riots at the Democratic convention.
What should he do? Could he actually change history for the better? Should he even try? What about the unintended consequences of his actions? How could he find someone in the government high enough to have access to the President?
Jack writes two of his predictions to his U.S. Senator, John Stennis. When Jacks second prediction comes true, Senator Stennis begins to believe his story, and relays his information to the Attorney General, because he doesnt trust J. Edgar Hoover.
Hoover, livid that a senator has information before the FBI does, assigns two of his sociopathic special operatives to discover Stennis source. Jack has a physical confrontation with one of them, and makes the now-crippled operative a lifelong enemy, bent on revenge.
Did he actually change any of the tragic events of 1968? Were there unintended consequences of his actions?
This historical fiction is full of political intrigue, FBI corruption, the societal tumult in the streets, organized crime, and a true picture of the jazz music scene of New Orleans at the time.
