The Two Gates (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781976520174)

The missed shot that changed history. In a twist of fate, President John F. Kennedy survives the assassination attempt in Dallas, Texas.

Political intrigue and infighting roil Washington in the wake of the assassination attempt, as JFK returns to the White House from the hospital to face a rebellious Vice President and a growing crisis in Vietnam that threatens America's Cold War strategy. The president doesn't trust the information he is getting from Saigon, where in the aftermath of the coup that toppled the U.S. supported government, the American military is engaged in a shadow operation to make things seem better than they really are.

So he turns to the one man he does trust: Lt. Colonel Patrick O'Shea. A decorated combat veteran of Korea, O'Shea has been plucked from obscurity to be Kennedy's military advisor, and is tasked by the president to figure out what is really going on in Vietnam.

The knives come out as O'Shea grapples with myriad threats to himself and the president he serves. The Pentagon, the CIA, the Corsican Mafia and the Chicago Mob are all conspiring against him.

The debut novel by Ken Davenport, The Two Gates is an exciting new addition to the military, presidential and alternative history tradition of W.E.B. Griffin, David Baldacci, Harry Turtledove and Philip Roth.

"A Tom Clancy-like thriller you won't be able to put down!"

"So excited to see this book published. A rip-roaring alternative history adventure that re-imagines the heart of the Vietnam War."

The Two Gates is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction!"
