Pierre Marshesso – Double Life: The JFK Assassinations

Ana — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:54:00 +0000

On the 22nd of November 1963, the entire world is learning that President John F. Kennedy has been assassinated in Dallas, Texas. As the world is made aware, the most influential White House members quickly head to the Situation Room where, already gathered, are Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and . . . President John F. Kennedy, who is stunned to learn that his security stand-in has been assassinated on live television, and the whole world is in mourning. To ensure Kennedy’s safety, it is out of the question to reveal that the man assassinated was in fact a double. Since his lookalike’s arrival in Texas, he had given some speeches and interviews and had participated in meetings, all of which exceeded the notion of security for presidential tours. The question on everyone’s lips is whether this is the first time a double has stood in for a president and, if not, under what other circumstances has it been done before. In short, how long had the president been deceiving the American people? In the moments following his assassination, Kennedy begins to understand that his presidency is over and that he is now faced with the choice of being disgraced or honored by history. All the conspiracy theories put forward will always lead back to members of the Chicago Mafia. And yet, the strings for this event were being pulled much farther south. Kennedy, still alive, is driven to find not only who assassinated him but, more importantly, why. All the while, he must protect himself against a second assassination attempt. As in Titanic and Forrest Gump, this is a historical novel filled with verifiable facts interconnected by an incomparable fiction. Any of the facts and events in this novel can be found by searching the Internet. Seamlessly blending fiction with fact creates an incomparable read.

Ivan Gochetski – Undocumented Millionaire – New Identity

Ana — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:51:44 +0000

The “Undocumented Millionaire – New Identity” is the first narrative revealing the life of Ivan Gochetski and his family in America. It details the events leading to their “visit” in 2001 and captures the conflict within the family as they try to extend their stay. Various characters play significant roles in the story that would show the thriving phenomenon of illegal immigration. All these unfold amidst the backdrop of San Francisco’s culture and Ivan’s internal struggle to keep his Russian values intact and his religious orthodoxy supreme.

The series of books paints a realistic picture of an illegal immigrants’ life which all too common have been the tale of millions. This issue is very divisive. People who agree in what undocumented aliens do and why they stay in America embrace the issue with a passion. Those who judge that they should leave and return to wherever they came from, also stands firm in their convictions. These chronicles will not attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable. It merely presents one family’s quest to belong in an adoptive land and succeed economically despite of the hardships everyone else faces. At the same time, it honestly reveals the maladies of the broken system enough to impart to the reader ideas on how to fix the problem – if only they would half-try.

A struggling and not-so-young advertising creative, Anakin Carver meets Natasha von Ottmann, an up and coming actress working on his new campaign, and accidentally makes her famous.

Nothing Is Permitted.” In a time of unrest and social change, Anakin Carver may become one of the most influential figures never known. As civilization moves toward both utopia and ruin, all it may need is a subtle push in either direction.
