描述
年邁的艾爾希望傑克能夠代替他完成一項未竟的心願：阻止1963年11月22日發生在達拉斯的甘迺迪總統刺殺案！因為反戰的甘迺迪總統若能獲救，或許就可避免數百萬無辜生命在後來的越戰中喪生！
傑克仔細研讀了刺殺案所有的細節與疑點，重新踏上50多年前的世界，開啟了他平凡人生中最驚心動魄的5年。靠著「來自未來」的優勢，他在運動賭博中賺進大把鈔票；買了假學歷，重拾熟悉的教學工作；雖然明知不該，卻還是真心愛上了一個女孩。
但不管60年代的生活有多麼愜意，傑克一刻也沒有忘記自己的使命，他要扭轉一樁重大的謀殺事件，揭開一個歷史上最大的謎團。射殺甘迺迪的兇手奧斯華是個黑暗扭曲的男人，將自己的一事無成化作對世界的仇恨，但他的犯行背後是否有其他勢力操控，卻始終不得而知。
隨著「那一天」越來越近，傑克逐漸逼近真相，危險卻也如影隨形，等他回過神來，自己與周圍的人早已深陷其中，他才赫然想起出發前艾爾的忠告：「過去」不想被改變，它會不計代價阻止你！

For a historical/political/science fiction novel about time travel, I expected to be bored to tears reading this. But I was wrong and had a great time.
Ok I am not going to lie. I definitely skimmed several sections of this book. It could have been shorter. But it is fascinating and there are some really good lessons. The past is obdurate. Good intentions don't prevent chaos. You can't save everyone. Live in the present. I am not a Kennedy buff at all so I bet this would be more meaningful to someone who was more familiar with what actually happened. I was doing some googling at times, but it was so long that I was just getting through it. It was good so I didn't even contemplate DNFing. I also went back and forth between kindle and audio for literally months in between other books. It is a trek but worth it.Also, alternate ending idea: Jake lets the world burn to be with Sadie. 🤷🏻♀️ What can I say? I am a dark romance girl at heart.
