Riveting Historical Novel from Dawn of the Age of Electricity This novel provides a fascinating portrayal of one of the most exciting times in world history, at least when it comes to scientific invention and the birth of technology. It was enjoyable to read, to get to know the real-life characters, and at the same time learn about these historical events in a non-text-booky way.The plot revolves around three main historical characters: Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. The inventor, the businessman, and the genius. All three men were primary warriors in what became known as the “current war”, i.e. the battle over whet. Robert Seidenberg said Most excellent..

Should become required reading at major Business and Law schools throughout the country. Tesla must be turning over in his grave about now, knowing that an automobile company has been named after h. Russell R. Burton said Great Fun. As I read it I compared it to 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote which was I believe called a docudrama. At the end I found out why this story was called a Novel. And I understand why the author changed the dates, etc. for better reading; i.e. novels are more fun to read than history books. Also it was a more complicated story than Capote's book. I did learn much about the players, found them most interesting and thanks to the author for spinning a great novel from which I learned a great deal.
