Libertopia announces the best libertarian fiction for 2017: As part of our mission to help encourage liberty in the arts, the team here at libertopia is extremely proud to announce the winner for the Adult Category of our 2017 Art and Creative Writing Contest (Find the details of the 2017 Contest right here)! After J.L Pattison sent us a copy of Saving Kennedy, we read it and found it to be the absolute best fiction with a liberty message that we’ve read this year!
This well-written and exciting book, which incorporates two fictional stories revolving around the events of the Kennedy Assassination, is a thought-provoking look into this fascinating period of 1960’s history. Having recently watched the Twilight Zone series, the comparisons some have drawn between it and the stories contained within this book is pretty spot on. I could almost imagine Rod Serling introducing each story with, “You are about to enter another dimension….” Perfect for teens and adults (and possibly even younger kids), Saving Kennedy does an excellent job at entertaining, while weaving in some great liberty themes and life wisdom without becoming heavy-handed. And it’s “easy to digest” size makes it a great gift for a family member, co-worker or friend.
When Stewart Hudson travels back in time to stop the killing of President Kennedy, he plans to accomplish this confronting Lee Harvey Oswald. But not only does Stewart discover Oswald is innocent of the crime, he also finds himself in the unique position of being Oswald’s only alibi. When complications trap Stewart Hudson in 1963, the wife of his future grandson confronts his future self before he takes the fateful trip to 1963. Her intention is to ensure Stewart gets it right this time, but she quickly learns that meddling in the affairs of the past always has its consequences.
