JFK-Averting the Assassination

Author Finds Lost 1993 JFK Manuscript

A novel written in 1993 was filed away and forgotten until 2016, when author Johnny Counterfit found it buried in a file cabinet. The unpublished manuscript, JFK-Averting the Assassination, was turned into book form, published and released in celebration of the 2017 Centennial Celebration of the birth of President John F. Kennedy.

The story begins with the author traveling back in time to warn JFK not to get off the plane in Dallas. As a result of stopping the motorcade at Love Field, history begins to change, with additional plots to murder the president, including an explosive laden aviation fuel truck heading straight for Air Force One. Time travel was the easy part compared to what the author had to through to sneak aboard the presidential plane, hide, then time his surprise emergence from a storage compartment, only to be subdued by Secret Service agents while convincing everyone on board of the importance of his presence.

Remaining aboard Air Force One, JFK and the author discuss the future, as well as history and foreign policy; topics include preventing the Vietnam War, the importance of energy independence while avoiding the impact of the oil embargo of the early 1970's, and questionable Supreme Court rulings of past and future years. Applying historic facts blended with fiction, the author captures the wit and personality of President Kennedy, as both change the course of human events.
