Resumen del Editor

Excerpt from the editorial in The Journal of New Historical Perspectives, Vol. Three, Number Four, 2011:

On the night of July 15, 1903, Nikola Tesla powered up his 190-foot tower in Wardenclyffe on Long Island's North shore. The bolts of energy radiating from the apical dome were visible as far away as New Haven, Connecticut. This was the first and last time anyone would witness such a display. Three years later, broke and unable to secure further funding, Tesla abandoned the Wardenclyffe tower and his dream of worldwide wireless power. He returned to Manhattan, where he promptly suffered a nervous breakdown.

So say the history books.

But new evidence has surfaced that a shadowy fraternal order stepped in and provided generous funding after J. P. Morgan reneged. Witnesses state that testing of the tower continued, but only on foggy days when the discharges would not be noticed. The final test took place on April 18, 1906. Around dawn, in heavy fog, the tower was charged to maximum capacity; across the Atlantic, in Abereiddy, Wales, two copper prongs attached to a 50-watt light bulb were thrust into the ground. The bulb lit. Tesla had proved that worldwide wireless power was possible.

Why then, at the moment of his greatest vindication, did Nikola Tesla abandon his project? What could possibly have transpired at Wardenclyffe that day to so rattle him that he would deny the world his transformative technology? We may never know.

Another Awesome Addition

This is another great addition to F. Paul Wilson's Secret History of the World! A must read for fans of the series and ties in nicely with a certain Repairman Jack novel. For any reviews hating it due to a transgender character get over it. Clearly those reviews don't have an investment in the series and have some transphobia issues. F. Paul Wilson writes stories he would like to read and allows us to be entertained along with him.

Nikola Tesla versus The Otherness

Another fine entry in the Secret History of the World series. This time the story revolves around Tesla and his very real experiments at Wardenclyffe. Well written. Tightly plotted. No unnecessary diversions.

Highly recommended. Of particular interest to fans of the Repairman Jack series. (There is even an appearance by someone from that series here). Can also be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.

Transgender lecture disguised as a horror story

This was one of the least entertaining audiobooks I’ve listened to. I am interested in the life and accomplishments of Nikola Tesla and thought this fictionalized account by an author I generally enjoy would be interesting. Unfortunately, this story is simply a vehicle to for the author to push transgenderism. The whole thing is just self serving, poorly written, and boring.
