5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What a fantastic book!, November 21, 2005

By	Frank D. Germano (Lake Wallenpaupack, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible work, January 28, 2007

By	Rod Levell "kitchen rat/ book worm" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, December 6, 2007

By	G. Quinn (Atlantic City, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An interesting premise and some well-known historical characters made this a fun read. The writing could have been better, the situation on Mars made more vivid, and the style of Twain more perfectly captured. (As narrator he has little sense of humor or irreverence.)
