Wow! What a fantastic book!

I am (naturally) a Nikola Tesla fan. We created a company based on reverse-engineering Tesla's amazing bladeless disk turbine and pump. I've read quite probably every biography on Tesla. Then, here comes this absolutely, simply stunning book! This book is science fiction - yes...and more. For one of the first times ever, someone took the time to write a brillian novel, based on sound Tesla FACTS, and make it into one truly great story. Think of this as a fantasy based on all the Tesla facts you could ever imagine. Intertwined into this story, are some of Tesla's proven historical friends - Mark Twain (Clemens), Pres. Cleveland, Mr. Citzo, and a whole bevy of others. Nice job. I couldn't put the book down. In particular, the science of Tesla is woven into this book perfectly. Of particular note: Tesla Flying Machine. Again, Brilliant work! I highly recommend this book. Nice job.

What a tremendous book. To think of all the research that must've gone into it, for one thing, but to come up with such an incredible storyline is absolute brilliance. You keep turning pages, unsure of what (or who) you may come across next. I loved it!

great adventure

I borrowed this book through interlibrary loan, but will certainly add it to my library.
Since I was a child I have not been more fascinated by an adventure book. Integrating Tesla facts into an interplanetary adventure story was a brilliant idea and well done. If it were well written, I would call it a masterpiece. However, that is easy to overlook as you anticipate where the pages will guide you in this extraordinary tale. It is easy to tell that it must have been a work of inspiration by the author. I almost wish it were a two part or trilogy, so the story was not over.
