About the author . . .
Jack Duffy is an attorney from Fort Worth, Texas. The Man from 2063 is his first book. On November 22, 1963 he was in school at Bruce Shulkey Elementary when he heard the news about President Kennedy’s assassination. His parents were at the breakfast in Fort Worth, Texas, that morning when President Kennedy gave his last speech. In 1970 he saw the Zapruder film for the first time. He has been researching the JFK assassination since then. He has interviewed many eyewitnesses including Marina Oswald and several Parkland physicians who treated JFK. He has met many researchers who have written books on the assassination. He came up with the idea for a time travel novel in 1998. He has one of the largest private collections of materials on the JFK assassination. He graduated from Texas Tech University with a B.A. in Political Science. He then earned an M.B.A from Baylor University. He then graduated from South Texas School of Law with a J.D. He is an Eagle Scout.
Reader Review . . .
After one hundred years of secrecy, the assassination of John F. Kennedy is finally proven to be the result of a conspiracy. Sean Zumwalt believes that the fate of mankind would have been improved if the President could have been saved, so he volunteers to go back in time to prevent the assassination. But he quickly learns that a conspiracy that far-reaching is not easy to stop.
Conspiracy theories are fun. Even when I don't believe them, I still enjoy them. This is what makes this novel so engrossing. The whole "what if?" premise of the book makes you stop and think. It will probably never be proven whether or not Oswald acted alone, or even at all, and time travel probably won't be involved, but this is still an interesting take on the popular conspiracy theory.
One drawback: throughout the book, the dialogue seems stilted. It makes for a dry read much of the time, but the author has researched his subject so well that it is still an absorbing novel. If the reader is tempted to walk away after a few pages, I urge you to stay with it. If nothing else, the author's view of what might have been is worth sticking around for.
Some strong language; nothing else possibly offensive.

I am, like many others, fascinated regarding the facts surrounding this historical event. I enjoy reading the various non-fiction and fiction alike that digs into the topic!
I wish the author well on his tour:)
Thank you for your comment. This is an interesting topic.
OMG, I can't get enough of the 60's everything. I was just a newborn when this happened. My mom still claims that I was in front of the TV with her and my bottle.
