Book Description

April 4, 2008
When twenty-something journalist Joe Jonas is sent to cover a press conference in Texas he figures it’s just another crackpot JFK assassination conspiracy theory. But as he’s half-assing through the legwork he stumbles across something that makes him realize this one might be for real. It gets even better when Abby Reno, a saucy reporter from Austin, insists on working on the story with him.

As Jonas and Reno circle closer to the plot they come to realize that the protectors of the secrets are still on the job and they don’t take prisoners. The bodies pile up while the reporters look over their shoulders wondering if the story of the century is worth their lives.


"Very intriguing twist on the JFK assassination story! Was there really a plot behind the assassination, and not just a single shooter? The author has clearly read the findings of the Warren Report -- and the footnotes, which include some strange and interesting facts!" -- Smashwords review

Perfect reason for Kindle September 16, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a good book, and a perfect example of the Kindle advantage...I never would have paid $17.99 for the physical book, but for a $0.99 download, a very good value. I am a Kennedy Assassination buff (if you believe Oswald was the lone assassin, your naivete is larger than the state of Texas), so I was curious. The story started a bit slow, and it took some patience, but once you gain traction, things happen fast. The character development builds over a significant period of the story, so it takes time to get to know the two main actors...they seem a bit shallow for awhile. The "regular Joe" hero of the story is believable, which is not always the case in an action thriller. In summary, if you are interested in the Kennedy assassination, download this book. If you are looking for something a bit different than the cookie-cutter techno/politico/crime action novel, download this book. If you have the patience to get to the action and know the characters, download this book (I say download, because my recommendation changes at $17.99).

Fast-paced and exciting! February 8, 2009

Two journalists - Joe Jonas and Abby Reno - are assigned to cover yet another crackpot conspiracy theorist with his own idea about the JFK assassination plot. However, there may be more than meets the eye this time. Now Jonas and Reno have to find the truth - against the wishes of their editors and other people who are trying to kill them to keep decades-old secrets dead and buried.

Dave Conifer does an excellent job of explaining the major real-life players of the JFK scandal to readers who may not be intimately familiar with the intricate details (*raises hand*). Combining the pace of an action thriller with the backdrop of JFK, the author uses one of the biggest scandals of the 20th century to weave an intricate tale of historical fiction in "Man of Steel."

I am not going for the Kennedy assassination plot at the heart of this book, but the book is an entertaining read. Suspend disbelief and enjoy it. It flows, the protagonists are likable. The writing is good. It's a fun read, not to be taken too seriously.
