There
are whispers even now that Abraham Lincoln never really died, that a
voodoo spell cursed him with a terrible eternal life. It has even
been claimed that he robbed banks in the 1930s with John Dillinger,
only to mysteriously disappear once again into the pages of history.
But the truth is even stranger than the rumors...
Watched over by a vengeful J. Edgar Hoover and held in a secret location near his old Springfield home, Lincoln re-awakens in the 1960s, and finds himself thrust into an era even more turbulent than the Depression, a time where a divisive war is once again tearing a nation apart and political intrigue and assassinations are rampant.
Escaping Hoover’s clutches with a clever bit of deception, he navigates an even more treacherous and unfamiliar terrain, finding an ally in John Voci, a young San Francisco folk-singer. Together they journey across a counter-cultural landscape, meeting those who believe a great man has returned, and striving to remain free from those who want to bury him once and for all.
Will Lincoln inspire the younger generation and save his country from its final reckoning, or will he turn on, tune in, and drop out?

My Review:
Abe
Lincoln wasn’t the only one feeling the effects of acid from this
plot. I, myself, a sober reader, fell down the rabbit hole of this
story and lost some reality. The authors include heavy hitters in
this historical fiction, like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Abraham
Lincoln, JFK, and Martin Luther King Jr. to name a few.Mostly set in
1968, the authors have masterminded a fascinating plot stemming from
the mystery and voodoo after Lincoln was assassinated. Honest Abe is
held captive by another political leader, escapes, and sets out on
his own mission.

Lincoln on Acid is a wild tale! I would give this 4 stars. Kudos to
