What would 1808 President Thomas Jefferson do (really do) if he were here now, was up to date on current events; and was then revealed to the public.
Jefferson's Encore is true physics, science plausible and not just fiction.Folding space with NASA's Alcubierre drive, the Portal slips into 1804 in an attempt to make scholarly observation of the Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition and they get more than they bargained for. Their crossing of the 1804 virgin West is tumultuous and magnificent. Their parallel expedition rewrites known history of pre-Louisiana Purchase Indians crossing the wilderness to the Pacific.
Acclaimed storyteller David Pickett breaths live into Jefferson a year before he competes his term as President, when Dr. Averyell Murrah finally convinces him to come to 2038 to turn the nation back to the Constitution. Through meticulous historical research and crafted storytelling, Jefferson and reporter Jim Morris fall into the turmoil of a divided country with lies, deception, manipulation, intrigue, and close calls. In 2039 the Jefferson you never knew makes a surprise move that changes history.
