The Tesla Gate
When a cosmic storm enters Earth’s atmosphere, scientists are baffled by its composition and origins, but not nearly as much as they are by the storm’s side effect – anyone who has died and chosen not to cross over is suddenly stranded here, visible, and can interact with the living.
With the world thrown into chaos, Thomas Pendleton is eager to make up for many broken promises to his six-year-old son, Seth. Soon after the storm, they set out on a road trip to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, completely unaware of the social and political maelstrom they’re heading into that will change their lives forever.
Review:
Thomas Pendleton is a hard-working and loyal father and
husband but he lets his work get the better of him. He is always busy and
breaking his promise to his family. But when a cosmic storm hits the planet, he
is given a second chance to show his son, Seth, just how much he loves him by finally
taking him to the museum. But their vacation is cut short when dead people
start showing up and the government decides to capture them and get rid of them
once and for all.
Despite the awkward writing style, it was written in
hindsight (Thomas retold the events of his life and adventure) I found the
story line interesting enough to read on till the end. I’m glad I did. The
ending was the best. Thomas Pendleton becomes the father he was meant and always
wanted to be by making the ultimate sacrifice for his son, Seth.
The Telsa Gate took some getting used to. The writing felt
more like the main character was reliving the story as oppose to me reading
along and experiencing it with him, there was too much hindsight. The story was
still enjoyable. Lots of action, suspense, betrayal, stupid mistake after
stupid mistake, but in all, Thomas was a good father to the end. After getting
used to the writing, I could enjoy the unique story line. The description of impals
were vivid and interesting. The ending was the best. Thomas Pendleton becomes
the father he was meant and always wanted to be by making the ultimate
sacrifice for his son.
Even though this was not one of my favorite reads, it was still very interesting and I would definitely be interested in following this story if the writer continues with what happens to Thomas and his son and the Tesla Gate
