The President Is Missing…

A note from the author: My mother, Eleanor LaRue, initially wrote this manuscript in 1960 but never had it published...she left it to me when she passed away in 1995...**BEFORE** I began writing. I found the story when I moved a few years ago and felt compelled to bring her story to life. Over the last two years, I've updated, edited, tweaked, and added a time travel element for a contemporary spin. My mom lived decades before her time, but her message is as significant today as it was in 1960. Thank you for reading our novel!

USA Today Bestselling Author, Casi McLean, presents A Switch In Time––a gripping time-slip thriller ripped from today's headlines.

In a country divided, where terrorists hijack peaceful protests and threaten the fabric of America's democracy, President Emery Clayton III discovers a global power behind the insurrection. He escapes to the White House attic to plan a counterblow, steering clear of initiating World War III––and vanishes.

After years of studying to realize his dream, James Rucker’s future explodes when he’s falsely accused of cheating on his final exams. Vowing he’s had enough, he joins a civil rights movement. But his trip to connect with the anarchists stops cold when his flight is struck by lightning and plummets into the ocean.

Can one man's soul rip through time to a different era…survive a plane crash...and mitigate a broken man’s rage in time to save his own nation from total destruction?

★★★★★"Casi McLean takes us on an incredible journey through the underbelly of society with a premise ripped from today's headlines. A gripping political thriller." —N.N. Light’s Book Heaven

My Review:

“God grant me wisdom to light the way and the strength of our forefathers to save the day.”

With these words, the current President of the United States Emery Clayton III is flung into the past. The reason is simple: America is at a crossroads and on the verge of a war fueled by racial tensions. He lands in the early 1960’s and his journey takes him to unexpected places and circumstances. He spends forced isolation with a black man named James Rucker. Each of them is on opposite sides of racial unrest. Will Emory be able to see the world from James’ eyes and how harmful racism is or will he stay stuck in his own narrow viewpoint? Can a switch in time change his life and ultimately the future of America?

A Switch in Time is a compelling thriller ripped from today’s headlines. What’s ironic about my statement is that this book was written by Casi’s mother in the late 1960’s. Racial injustice, whether it happens in the 1960’s or today, is not only relevant but life-changing. The time has come for all citizens to stand up and say we’re in this together. The authors weave an adrenaline-boosting thriller with an important message. The characters are so well-drawn, I was sucked right in. I whipped through the pages faster than my fingers would allow. Emory and James are at the heart of this story and their relationship from mortal enemies to friends is heart-wrenching. The plot moves at a fast pace and there is plenty of action to please any thriller reader. One of the best books I’ve read this year. It needs to be read by every world citizen of every race. Highly recommend!
