The Three Ghosts of Tesla

An alternate history of WWII where the missing Nikola Tesla is the Earth's best hope of survival. Summer 1942, Manhattan. Rumors of German submarines landing on the east coast... Mysterious appearances, and disappearances, on the banks of the East River... Trusteeship of Edison laboratories by the FBI... Experiments with terrible secret weapons by the Japanese forces in the Pacific... For those who can see beyond the appearance of deceptive calm, everything shows that New York will soon be at the heart of an Earth-shattering event... Throughout this, one question abounds - where is Nikola Tesla, probably the only scientist whose originality and brilliance can save the world? Meanwhile, after the death of his father at the front, the young Travis Cooley and his mother move into an apartment on the thirteenth floor of the New Yorker Hotel. It is on this level that lives the "old fool" as nicknamed the neighborhood kids. Eccentric and disturbing, he rarely comes out and mumbles all day behind his door. The children must give him a mysterious coded letter that a man left them. But, in this troubled time, with the tensions of war in Europe and the Pacific, this is not the only enigma that the boy will face.
