Elvis Presley: CIA Assassin

Elvis Presley: CIA Assassin

This is one of the funniest eBooks I've ever read! :-)

If you are/were a fan of Elvis Presley and don't mind some crude language (there's quite a bit in here) give this one a go. 

I usually don't read books with much vulgar language in them. But in this case, it did fit with the story and didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of reading this book. Kind of hard to explain this aspect, but true.

I laughed til I cried in many sections of this book, especially when Elvis was out on his CIA assignments with faithful sidekick Bo. What a couple of wild and wacky guys.

The only thing that I thought could have been improved slightly was the ending, it was a bit boring compared to the rest of the book. But overall, this one is oh so funny!!!

Do let me know if you give this one a try!

And some additional information from the Amazon product page: 

"I can guarantee you. Read this book and you'll never look at Elvis the same way again!" -- Douglas Brode, author of Elvis Cinema and Popular Culture.

In 1970, singer Elvis Presley secretly met with President Richard Nixon. This new comedic novel imagines that Presley became a Central Intelligence Agency operative, eventually moving up through the ranks to become a skilled assassin.

Presented in an oral history fashion, the book tells us about Presley's secret transformation by the people who knew him best.

Did he fake his death in 1977? Was Presley involved with the Watergate scandal? The Iran hostage crisis? Communicating with aliens?

Read this book to find out the answers to these and many more questions.

Elvis Has Not Left The Building by J. R. Rain

 

This past week (January 8th) would have been Elvis Presley's 79th birthday. 

 

 

It brought to mind this wonderful novel I had read a couple of months ago, by bestselling author J. R. Rain:

 

Elvis Has Not Left The Building.

 

We've all thought about it; what if Elvis really was still alive?

 

But how often have we considered him coming back older, wiser and working as a detective? Not me, until I read this book.

 

This story made me laugh a lot, cry a little and kept my attention right to the last page. 

 

 I could actually imagine this having happened, not just as a fictional story.

All those sightings of Elvis, maybe they weren't fantasies after all? But in this case, Elvis looked a lot different than how his fans remembered him.

This is the first book I've enjoyed by this author but it definitely won't be my last.

 

And to J. R. Rain:

 

Ah...thank you, thank you very much, for writing this story! 


If you still miss Elvis, give this one a try.

 

From the Amazon product page:

Which is why in 1977 Elvis faked his own death and endured massive facial reconstruction surgery, and disappeared from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, too, and now Elvis finds himself broke and living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he's a pretty good private investigator.

Now in his seventies and contemplating a return to music (discreetly, of course), Elvis is hired to solve a baffling missing person case. The King digs deeper, and soon finds himself surrounded by the seedier elements of Los Angeles, from nefarious Hollywood producers who prey upon the young, to twin brothers with a very dark secret.

And as Elvis pieces the bizarre puzzle together, he slowly makes his singing comeback—and will be reunited on stage with someone even the King himself never dreamed possible.

 

Overall rating for this book: Excellent. 5 out of 5.
