Is this "novel" really a new biography of Tesla?
Its a novel. Fiction.
>Has anyone read it ?
I have not.
>Is it any good ?
As a novel?
dunno.
As a biography, its fiction.
Its hard enough now to sort out what happened in Nikola Tesla's life.
Now we have what the author think maybe Tesla might have said, if
Tesla thought like the author. This is bound to add to the confusion.
I'd much rather have the author simply right a new biography.
(The author is, of course, free to do exactly as he pleases...)
