“The Answer From Surveyor 3” by Mark Marchand

Local writer Mark Marchand has announced the publication of his new book, The Answer From Surveyor 3. The novel is a suspenseful historical fiction mystery, based on two of the 20th century’s most important events: the JFK assassination and NASA’s successful Moon-landing program.

What if another person were present on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository when Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963? What if that person who was accidentally present … accidentally captured irrefutable evidence about what happened that day? This evidence could answer questions such as: Was Oswald alone? Was he aided by another person or persons? Was it actually Oswald?

The Answer From Surveyor 3 is now available as an ebook and will soon be available as a paperback on Amazon.
