Awesome! Couldn't put it down!
One of the best books I have ever read! Destination Dealey starts off with a bang, and the action escalates as the clock ticks down to the Kennedy Assassination. With exceptional attention to historical facts, L.D.C. Fitzgerald skillfully weaves actual events and real people with fictional scenes and compelling characters to finally reveal the `truth' about what happened on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas.
A real page-turner with a satisfying ending. Totally worth it!
Sample Chapters are available... And much more information.

A creative time travel novel, which I read following Stephen King's 11/22/1963 to see how this time travelers' attempt to prevent Kennedy assassination compared. Surprisingly innovative, but not nearly as captivating as King's novel. The larger number of characters (a team of time travelers) made me less interested in them as people from my connection to the main character in King's book. I think what fascinated me most about this novel was how different the present day world is because of it being Jackie, not Jack who was killed. Also, some of the "facts" about time travel are different than any I'd read about in previous novels, and the concept was rather interesting.

Absolutely CINEMATIC--I was instantly hooked!
Gripping storytelling with an unexpected twist! You don't have to be a Kennedy buff to enjoy this heart-pounding thriller. Readers born before and after 11/22/63 will be mesmerized by Destination Dealey--an astonishing journey from present to past.
Hey, Hollywood--here's your next blockbuster!

I’m not really big into sci fi, fantasy or time travel. However, this is quite an entertaining read. What if things had turned out differently in November 1963………
Back in this book, it’s not JFK who was assassinated, but his wife. The results of war in the intervening years have made a USA very much different to the one we know. In 2013, an eclectic group travel back 50 years to see if they can force a change they will give the USA a better future from 63 onwards.

September 16, 2021Well written and researched story. The fictional aspects were blended well with the history to create a very plausible story (if you can accept the concept of time travel). Great characters that were fairly well developed. Enough twists and turns in the plot to keep you reading. Great ending. Overal

An ambitious story with some very entertaining parts. Overall I found the book to be a bit uneven, it never seemed to settle on whether it was going to be a fun, lighthearted adventure story with some serious overtones or a more serious piece of dystopian science fiction with bits of humor. As a result it presents itself as something of a feathered fish -- neither one thing nor the other.
The first few chapters of the book start as a very serious tale of a grim alternate reality where two scientists are breaking out of the prison where they have been forced to work on special high tech weapons systems, then quickly the whole thing turns into a quasi homage to Smokey and The Bandit as a ragtag group of wisecracking misfits flee across the country with a blustering, inept authority figure and his ever present sidekick in hot pursuit. Because of the change in tone it's very difficult to get a feel for the world they inhabit... is it grim and desperate or is that merely one aspect of a larger society?
Once they make the leap back into time the book becomes much more engrossing and returns to some of the earlier seriousness but those wacky time-travelers just can't seem to get it together and it once again swings back and forth between serious subject matter and near farcical situations. That may have been the authors intent -- judging by the obvious amount of effort and research that went into the book I would guess it was intended -- but it makes for a very uneven and disorienting story.
There are a number of references to well known political figures in the future world of the book as well as cameo appearances by well known figures from the past (Notably Nixon, LBJ, and J. Edgar Hoover). Some are brief asides while others are more prominent in the overall story.
I found the time travelers knowledge of their own country's past (the early 60's) extremely inconsistent, particularly when it came to cultural references, as though they were looking back on a time centuries ago rather than just 50 years. It seemed as though the author cut corners in a few places, trying to get back to the main story while quickly adding a reference to something so as to explain it away. In other instances long passages of back story were given -- in relation to the shared history between their fictional world and our actual one -- where it wasn't really necessary for anyone with a passing knowledge of the political situations of the world prior and up to '63.
The overall arc of the story does come together in Dealey Plaza, with the author cleverly (in most cases) fitting fact and fiction together. I found a subplot involving J. Edgar Hoover to be borderline silly but for the most part it is very nicely done.
It's not a bad book by any means. Author L.D.C. Fitzgerald made a valiant and impressive effort, I just didn't connect with the material as well as I would have liked.

On November 22, 1963, in Dallas, TX, Governor Connally was shot, President Kennedy was shot, and Jackie was shot & killed. Those arrested were KGB agents. As a result, President Kennedy nuked Moscow off the map. In retaliation, the Soviet Union nuked Washington, D.C. off the map. This was the beginning of the 1964 Nuke War. General Westmoreland became President of the US after his successful invasion of Cuba (now a territory of the US). Colin Powell became President but had to resign in disgrace because he didn't want the military-industrial complex to get any stronger than it was. In 2013, it's either Oliver North or Guiliani as president. I was confused at that point. Both were presidents at some point in time. Jeb Bush is Vice President. The Soviet capital is Minsk and the US capital is WB (Wilkes Barre, PA). Although the Nuke War is over, both countries are in the Stale War always threatening the other with war. The US is now a militaristic nation.
There was one man in California who wanted less federal government: Ronald Reagan. He started the Reagan Revolution but the federal government quickly put that movement to an end.
In 2013, scientists have developed AM (anti-matter) weapon capability but these scientists also discovered that AM can also be used for time travel. If they could go back to 1963 and prevent Jackie's assassination, would the Nuke War never happened? Would the US be a better place to live? They determine to find out. Iggy (scientist), Sera (scientist), Jay (scientist), Sam (he has a submersible which will be used for time travel), Quin (former astronaut), Dee (reporter), and Bick (former Secret Service agent & navy pilot) are all on the lam from federal agents and go back to 1963. Unbeknownst to them, a KGB agent steals AM documentation and also travels back to 1963.
Every conspiracy theory you've heard is part of the plot in 1963. In addition Richard Nixon is meeting clients in Dallas on November 23, 1963. J Edgar Hoover wants to get rid of the Kennedy brothers and he's in Dallas that fateful day, too.
We know what really happened on that day: President Kennedy was killed. So, yes, the team succeeded in saving Jackie but they did not expect the President to die. It was fun to read how the author wove the FBI and KGB into the history that we've read about. The man on the grassy knoll, did he have a gun? Yes, in this story he was one of the KGB.
The team thinks they failed but they like their new lives in 2013. They've considered going back to 1963 to fix their mistakes and save the President.
This was a fun read. There's also a website: www.savingjackiek.com that has some of the documentation and history of the "real" events of 1963.

Destination Dealey opens in the fall of 2013, just over the horizon from us today, and the United States has clearly become a police state. Gradually it becomes evident that this situation has grown not from post-9/11 draconian measures but dates back to 1963 and the assassination in Dallas, TX, not of Pres. John F. Kennedy, but of his wife, Jackie. Very gradually it is revealed that JFK's mind snaps as a result and he initiates nuclear interchanges with the USSR followed by 50 years of lower-grade conflict.
Meanwhile, a pair of top-level scientists, enslaved by the U.S, government, rather than turn over an anti-matter bomb that could utterly destroy the earth, develop an offshoot technology: anti-time -- i.e., time travel. They escape their gulag, pick up a few useful colleagues, and zip back to 1963 to undo the tragedy. Predictably, their interference results in the history that the rest of us have known since 1963, but it is at least free of nuclear war.
The story keeps the reader's attention throughout, although some plot shifts are a bit confusing. The overall plot closely resembles Stephen King's novel, 11/22/63. I prefer Fitzgerald's approach, which attempts to explain how time travel might happen. There are a few gaffs in the scientific part -- the number of Soviet satellites aloft in 1963 and the altitude required for geosynchronous orbit -- but the tale is, overall, believable. The more one has read about JFK's assassination the more impressive the story is. All of the major and many of the minor characters find places here, their circumstances appropriately altered. One sees the true tragedy of 1963 coming, but does not see how it will be reached. Several clever reverses of face occur to keep it interesting.
Turning to the matter of the actual writing, it is no surprise that King wins the contest. Fitzgerald rarely passes on the use of cliches and ought to discard most adverbs and adjectives. Several times results of cut-and-past are awkward if not embarrassing. Much of the dialog is wooden and sometimes the narrative takes on the dialect of major characters. Careful editing could remedy these defects and make Destination Dealey truly remarkable novel.

Saving Jackie K Blog
By L.D.C. Fitzgerald
What you think you know about history is wrong! President Kennedy wasn't assassinated in 1963 as the history books recorded. A KGB attempted assassination instead took out the First Lady and we've been locked in a devastating war with Soviet Union ever since.
American freedom was lost when the nation lost Jackie K, and 3 scientists are determined to change the past...
But they need some help to accomplish their mission and to avoid the US military that has labeled them fugitives. But time is running out literally as their pursuers close in on them. It's now or never and something could very well go wrong.
In Saving Jackie K two scientists are imprisoned and being forced to create weapons that could destroy the world, but there is a side effect to anti-matter weapons and anti-time could be the key to changing the world and ending a war that has been escalating over the last 50 years.
This is a title that should appeal to fans of alternate historical fiction - think Wilbur Smith. It also reminds me of the movie Final Countdown. Taking place in both 2013 and 1963 this is not a book that will boggle your mind with the scientific details but the various scenarios that are playing out as the different characters pursue their own agendas will keep you on the edge of your seat. without giving anything away Jackie K is saved but the President was lost and we find out who the mastermind behind the assassination truly is! (But you didn't hear it here and you'll have to read Saving Jackie K to learn the truth.)
But can they return to 2013 and if they can what will their life be like? Will they see the benefits or will there be even greater calamity? do not miss out on the adventure of a lifetime!

Saving Jackie K is a riveting historical fiction story that delves into the JFK assassination and conspiracy theories through an intriguing interweaving of historical factual accounts extensively researched from public records with a fictional time travel action thriller. The authors weaves a fascinating story that transports the readers from the present time back to 1963 with an exciting storyline that will captivate the reader's attention from the beginning and keep them guessing and turning the pages.
I loved the blending of fact and fiction throughout the storyline, it makes the reader ponder "what if" in a realistic and believable way. This is an action packed story that takes the reader on an exhilarating thrill ride, it has a large cast of real life characters (Kennedy, Johnson, Hoover, Nixon Oswald, Ruby ... even a surprise one in Oliver North) and fictional characters, intriguing twists and turns, and a touch of sci-fi via time travel and futuristic technology that turns the story up a notch.
The authors have extensively researched the JFK assassination and the relative conspiracy theories, they provide the reader with a fascinating mini history lesson within the auspices of the storyline, and the interweaving of truths and theories will keep the reader engrossed until the end.
Saving Jackie K is a thought-provoking story that JFK assassination conspiracy buffs will definitely enjoy.

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!Saving Jackie K

I received this book as a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway. This is a well thought out and inspired solutive twist on the conspiracies surrounding the assassination of President Kennedy. I found it an enjoyable read and an easy to stay with book, especially the way it was laid out with a timeline. It would be easy to envision this novel made into a movie. However, what I would have liked to have seen would have been more edge and less humor attached to some of the characters, since the plot and settings were situated in dark and extreme times. There were characters that should have been too intelligent, intense and hardened by their circumstances and lives to make any sort of mistake or engage in light feminine exchanges and thinking, or use the adjectives attached to the language that they used. They were made less effectual and believable by the humour and frivolity attached to their behaviours and actions. However, a recommended book to read, and with one very memorable line that provided an insight into human behaviour.
Want to read
April 10, 2012If you enjoy glimpsing into alternate universes and action that moves at Mach-One speed, you will love reading Fitzgerald's novel. Everyone you know is in it--Kennedy, Hoover, Nixon, LBJ, Oswald, Ruby, etc.--and a few people that will surprise you, like Ollie North. A few of the characters are still living today. Fitzgerald stirs everything up in a time caldron. And, if you went to Lehigh University, as I did, the scenes at (and below) LU are a treat. Download to your Nook or Kindle as soon as you can. You can thank me later.

This book was a difficult read for me because my English history education didn't cover any of the Kennedy era of America. I recognised some of the names of the main players, but knew little about them. I got a bit bogged down with the science too, but once I'd got my head around the fact that the story involved true facts and characters with the fiction I let it flow over me and focused on the well written story line. There is lots of action as scientists travel back 50 years to change to past and thus the future. Sci-fi and fast paced action packed fans will probably love this.

I couldn't put it down. He had his facts in order surrounding the assassination. And his hypothesis about what could've been was thoroughly engaging. He looks at JFK, one of our most beloved Presidents, in a completely different light while still being believable. Very much a plot driven book, but the characters were well-rounded and engaging, too. Enough twists to surprise.

Interesting premise to time travel. I found too many errors (about 10) to rate it 5 stars and some of the writing bothered me, particularly when the author lapsed into talk of the time when a character was not using it. Still, it was worth reading. The author can get a list of some of the errors I found at amacd55 (at) gmail (dot) com.

A quick action adventure that would appeal to readers who love Dan Brown and Steve Berry. I'm always drawn to alternative histories. My main issue with this novel was the lack of alt history background provided. I found the resolution predictable but that didnt take away from my overall enjoyment of this fun vacation read.
April 28, 2013
I had very high hopes for this book as the concept is interesting. However, for the first time in 10+ years, I was unable to finish a book. Between the detailed scientific information that seemed to drag on forever and the slow development of the plot, I put the book away after reading a third of it.

I received this book as a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway and I really enjoyed it. I passed it on to my dad after I finished it. After some initial confusion at the very beginning, I really got into it! I thought it was a great spin on the dystopic novel!

A very difficult book to read.
Although it has a good plot, it seems very hard to follow at times.
A good read but not something I would pick up again.
