Pump Up Your Book is pleased to bring you L.D.C. Fitzgerald’s Saving Jackie K virtual book tour December 2 – 27! For a list of the other bloggers participating please click here.
It has been 50 years since the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. Conspiracy theories have always been conjectured about what really happened. I am not at all surprised to see many books coming out revolving around those conspiracy's. In this one, it was Jackie Kennedy who was murdered in Dallas on that fateful day.
It is 2013 and the world is not what you would call in a happy state--it was a mess!! When two scientists figure out time travel they decide to travel back in time and attempt to stop this heinous crime which caused JFK to effectively put policies into place which were unconscionable. Real names were used throughout this fictional novel--but those people were not in the positions they actually hold or held.
They meet up with 6 other misfits of the times and time travel back to try and change history. Some if not most of their escapades are mad cap, since not one of them truly knows what they are doing. Enter the KGB and J. Edgar Hoover and things really start to get complicated.
Do they make it back to 2013, do they stop the murder of Jackie K and do they ultimately make the world a better place then what it was? Read the book to find out!

What an interesting premise for a story! I bet this is a fun read, if for no other reason than the creativity of the plot.
This has to be a great book for conspiracy theory lovers like me!
What a great twist!
You sure spoke a mouthful when you said it is 2013 and the world was not in a happy state. But now, you made me want to read more.
So many what-ifs! You make it sound intriguing (and good!).

Sounds like a good read for those who are into the time travel thing. I don't do these kind of books but I have a few friends who do. :)
My husband and I were just watching a film about the JFK assassination 2 nights ago. Still hard to watch.
I have heard about this book and I have heard how excellent it was. I need to get this one for sure. This is my kind of book.
There is still so much mystery around his murder that I think many people would be interested in reading this book. It sounds intriguing.
This book sounds like a really intriguing read!
That sounds like an interesting twist on history!
Sounds like a great action book. I hope it paints the picture like an action movie.
My husband would probably really like this book!
My oldest son would love this book, he has been fasinated by the Kennedy's ever since he was a little guy.
ooo! I love a good twist! My husband really enjoys history and yet loves fiction.. I'd bet he would really like this one. I'll have to pass this along.
This book would not interest me but may interest others that I know. I will recommend it to them.
Sounds like a race against time for this one and so full of intrigue!
So true, 2013 has a lot of interesting things that happened. Sigh. Nice to read a book that has a reality view in it too.
Love the book has a twist. I would love to read this during the holidays.
Oh no! I've never been a huge follower of the Kennedys but I have always been intrigued by Jackie and actually read a biography about her years ago. This sounds like an interesting read especially for big Kennedy fans.
