An overall fascinating book, perfect for the conspiracy theory enthusiast who enjoys a good mystery. There is a bit of time-hopping that takes some getting used to, but the inclusion of Tesla into the storyline made it intriguing enough to stick with it.
Very glad I was approved for an ARC by NetGalley and the publisher!

this was a great mystery novel, it had the elements that I was looking for in this type of book. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed reading this book.

Tesla is a conspiracy novel with a bit of a historical twist. The timelines alternate between the era when Nicolai Tesla was doing research and the period of about 1985 to about 2006, where Darren Mathews, an Australian agent, begins working with the CIA. Both timelines reveal a deep state cabal constantly working behind the scenes and secrets beyond everyone's worst nightmares.

I found the fictional conspiracy theory to be well developed. The parts of the book involving Tesla and the placement of the key players in Tesla's world were thought provoking and well done. Most of the book, however, centered around Darren, his family, and their work with/for the CIA.

There were many weak moments in this book. The main character Darren entered into a relationship fairly quickly. The relationship was rushed, and the reason for rushing the relationship was ridiculous and unbelievable. Darren's story jumps backwards and forwards in time over a 15 - 20 year period. This was confusing. The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. I am not interested in reading any sequels. However, if you enjoy deep state conspiracy novels, you may like this book.

Tesla, by Jason Walker, offers one of the most exciting stories I read in many years. Walker describes a storyline of a family who lives off the Florida coast, but their relation to the CIA governed corporation named Orange Corporation gives the book a different dynamic. Throughout reading the book, I enjoyed the historical facts included in the storyline aligned with fictional events and the creation of imaginary thoughts.

Darren receives an opportunity to view the Tesla documents and requires him to make crucial decisions. Secrets prevail between Darren and his wife Anna that challenges both of them to act in specific ways.

The unique approach taken by the author made me realise the significance of the book and the successful writing style presented to allow readers to learn from it as well. The writing style stayed easy to read without any complicated or unclear plots. This book is a must-read to individuals who enjoy a bit of history combined with a tremendous imaginative mind.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book, but it just wasn't for me. The story sounded interesting but it's really not my style and didn't hold my interest.

I found this book hard to get into, it jumped back and forth in time a bit too much for me, just as I was getting into the missions the main character was sent on the story jumped back decades, it almost felt like I was reading two different books, I did finish the book hoping it would settle into the present time but it didn't so sadly not one I would read again.

This is a good book. I really enjoyed it. The characters are well developed and the story is packed with action and adventure. The author does a great job delivering a story with a solid plot and interesting subplots.I just hope that he ties it all together in the 2nd book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was short but entertaining. Not too much detail but enough to make it believable. I would have preferred some more detail on what happened at the end as I find it ended abruptly without a great deal of explanation.
On the whole I would definitely recommend this author and book.

I really liked the premise of this book but unfortunately it didn’t deliver. The writing felt weird somehow and there was no beginning and no end to the story. The characters were too cliché, I couldn’t relate to any of them.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy.

The story has an intriguing and thought-provoking plot. Written with enough detail that you are engaged as a reader but not so much as to be bogged down with detail. Also, the characters have been developed enough to be believable and realistic.
Overall a good enjoyable read

From the outset of the book I struggled with even the idea, or slightest notion that Tesla could be other worldly. It's too cliche. It's not how it goes down, but with the time jumps, I got confused at first. I think there are some great parts to the story. There is a weird relationship within the main families dynamic, and in the end hate how they all get scattered for their own reasons. I felt utterly dissatisfied with how it ended. As stated above, minus the time hops, it had an alright story line. I think the author tried a bit too hard to mesh history, today, and covert agencies. I wanted some sort of an ending and there was finality of sorts for some, but not for the family. And I feel there wasn't for Tesla in the story either. It's too unfinished for my taste. I understand it's part of a series, but...

I was able to read this early edition thanks to Netgalley in exchange for my non biased opinion of the story read.

This is great book by this author who is fast becoming a favorite of mine in this genre. He puts just enough detail in so that it reads realistic whilst at the same time doesn’t over do it so that you feel bored or confused. The same with the characters and the dialogue between them, realistic and believable! The plot is interesting and easy to follow, it’s another wonderful addition to an amazing series.

This was a short, interesting read. Not great. Not bad. I didn't stay engaged throughout. But the author has talent. I suspect this is not his best.

I really appreciate the copy for review!

Unfortunately I could not get into this book and was not able to complete.

I found the writing to be poor and the story jumped around.
Not to my liking

The author spun the storyline  around two plausible scenarios: 1) religion's role  to ensure  their reputation remained untarnished and 2) the safety and protection of massive fortunes. It's the same old story, but with a new twist. The narrative did not attend to, so much, to the pioneering efforts of Tesla, but rather the powers-that-be: the individuals, groups and organizations - the shakers of the world.

The main protagonist, Darren, a former S.A.S. agent was a pawn in a deadly game of espionage. Taken to the highest levels, the safeguarding of worldly secrets and assets came first above all else; science be damned.

I offer my thanks to NetGalley and BookGoSocial for the collaboration of this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
