Fast-paced, clever, whimsical, and fun. In this story we see inventor and pioneer in the field of early electronics Nikola Tesla begin taking on the aspect of an occult-detective. He employs his brilliant mind towards the end of classifying, and when necessary, destroying supernatural menaces to the city of New York. His inventions towards this end have just a subtle hint of the steampunk aesthetic to them, and the bright, forward-looking, early-twentieth-century American setting is a nice contrast to the dreary and haunted back-alleys of London we would typically see in this type of tale. All and all a fine first outing for Mr. Tesla, and I'm looking forward to reading all about his further adventures. ( )
