Haven't seen Timequest, but I don't see many similarities apart from the basic idea. So, in Timequest someone and goes back in time and prevents the assassin. Sounds like a speculative "what if"-story about how the world would look like if Kennedy hadn't been murdered. King's story sounds more like that someone goes back in time, starts a new life (even falling in love with a woman) and while he could prevent the assassination, I'm not sure it actually will happen in the book. I suspect that the suspense in the novel will be: can/will he do it or not? To say these stories are similar is like saying Salem's Lot and Dracula are similar because they're both about vampires
This sounds too much like "City on the Edge of Forever" for my comfort, haha.
But, knowing King through his work, I am certain that it will be far away from everyone's speculations.
