What if saving one life could change the entire world?

In 4.4.68, debut author Desmond T. Lewis explores an alternate timeline where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. doesn’t die on April 4, 1968. Derrick Ford is recruited into a covert future organization tasked with altering pivotal moments in history. His mission: travel back in time and prevent the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But changing the past comes at a cost. Every decision reshapes the future, creating new realities Derrick must live with and sometimes survive. Unlike traditional time-travel stories, 4.4.68 allows readers to experience both past and future worlds, revealing how one man’s choices ripple across decades, governments, relationships, and identities. Fans of Stephen King’s 11.22.63 will recognize the emotional weight of rewriting history, but 4.4.68 takes a different approach, showing not only the attempt to change the past, but the worlds that emerge afterward. This is not a superhero story. It’s a human one. A story about consequence. Memory. Responsibility. And what happens when you save the world… but it no longer remembers you.
