Über das Buch
KENNEDY'S TWINS, the second novel in a trilogy that includes BLACK PRESIDENT (PICNIC PUBLISHING, UK ©2008), and BLACKMALE, follows the American Presidency of Jackson Little who, along with his brother John, were secretly fathered by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. When Jackson is assassinated, his identical twin John steps in, impersonating the President and taking the country in a new, radical direction. His unusual State of the Union speech, written and delivered without prior knowledge of the press, raises concerns about toxic lead levels in plumbing (still prevalent in depressed neighborhoods across America), exorbitant rents/general inflation, and the growing threat of US military buildup. The Little agenda is steadfastly anti-war, anti-Military Industrial Complex, anti-cronyism, and questions the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve banking system. With a risky speech, impostor-John attempts to alter the fatal direction in which, he believes, America is headed.
