SCI-FI ODYSSEY. COMEDY. LOVE STORY. AND OF COURSE… NIKOLA TESLA. I’ll let Chip, the main character tell you more: “I found the journal at work. Well, I don’t know if you’d call it work, but that’s where I found it. It’s the lost journal of Nikola Tesla, one of the greatest inventors and visionaries ever. Before he died in 1943, he kept a notebook filled with spectacular claims … spectacular claims and outrageous plans. One of these plans was for an “Interdimensional Transfer Apparatus” – that allowed someone (in this case me and my friend Pete) to travel to other versions of the infinite possibilities around us. Crazy, right? But that’s just where the crazy starts.”
CHIP’S OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction: the events depicted in the collection of emails did not happen. I have never been in contact with a covert government group attempting to suppress knowledge of the lost journal of Nikola Tesla. I have not been threatened with death if I divulge the secrets contained inside. They did not buy me this handsome jacket (oh crap, you’re reading this – trust me, it looks great on me). They did not come to my place, and liquor me up, and offer to publish this book as a sci-fi comedy novel to throw the public off the trail of the real truth.
Or did they?
I’m kidding. Of course they didn’t.
Or did they?
God, I can’t keep my big mouth shut.
Where the Hell is Tesla? has been compared to Terry Pratchett (the Discworld Series), Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and even Kurt Vonnegut (I know, that last one is probably a stretch.)

This was a FANTASTIC read – I honestly cannot say enough good things about it… It was snarky and original and clever and …
Insanely creative story telling and entertaining dialogue make for a wild ride through multiple dimensions with two slackers who can’t stay out of trouble.

This is a fantastic book of inter-dimensional travel, friendship and love. A delight!
This book made me laugh out loud! It is very a strange and unique version of time travel. Beware of the swearing. If that offends you this book isn’t for you. Even with. today’s talk of the quantum world, this story takes science to a new level. Put your science knowledge aside and just go for the ride!
One of the most original time travel comedies I’ve ever read. The characters are realistic and some are incredibly endearing as two characters traverse time to work with Nikola Tesla fix a problem.
A story written as emails?
You know what, yes.
OK, so not all of it was delivered as a series of short emails from our hero to his girlfriend from another dimension.
But the utilization of that idea was perfect and hilarious. The characters, the premise, the humor, the nerdiness = awesome.
Bees knees, Where the Hell is Tesla? is quite the fun little taste of mind candy! If you like your science fiction of the “romp around the multiverse” variety, then this novel may be for you! As well, if you were a fan of Scooby Doo in your youth, you’ll probably also get a kick out of it. (Don’t ask me why I said that, it’s just a vibe I got …
