TESLAmancer
Two years have passed since Raymond Calvert first joined the Teslanauts. Now an experienced agent, he has completed missions with his friends across many countries and stopped the advances of many unscrupulous underground factions using Nikola Tesla's cutting-edge volt-tech. In this year of 1924, it is believed that someone will achieve the pinnacle of knowledge of this technology, and this person will be dubbed the Teslamancer, the ultimate wielder of Tesla's breakthrough science.
Deep in Siberia, someone has claimed this title for himself already, a man thought to have been assassinated years ago but lives due to unknown and twisted volt-tech science. This man is Grigori Rasputin, one of the last remaining relics of Imperial Russia, and he seeks vengeance upon the new Soviet rulers of his country before expanding his wrath to the world beyond.
Raymond finds himself on a wild adventure to stop this seemingly undead oppressor, one involving flying trains, artillery duels, monstrous mutated reptiles, and a potential budding romance with one of his closest cohorts, but the most peculiar event of it all might involve his organization's mysterious leader. Do Tesla and Rasputin have a history with each other? Is their hidden volt-tech world ready for a conflict between the wizard who invented this technology and the mystic who seeks to reign with it? Who is it that truly deserves the title of Teslamancer?
AVAILABLE AUGUST 27TH, 2024!

“
At its core, Teslanauts is a bombastic blend of science fiction and 20th century history. The central protagonist... embarks on a well-paced journey intersected with colourful and nuanced characters.

I had a great time reading [Teslanauts], it was what I was looking for in a steampunk novel. The writing was really well done and I really enjoyed the action sequences in the book. Can't wait to read the sequels.

Teslanauts is a well written, well thought out adventure story that hits the ground running and doesn't stop until the very end. When you read it, don't blink; you might miss something. The story is emotionally charged and has believable characters in a well-researched world. My highest recommendations for Teslanauts!

Teslanauts delivers an epic odyssey that deserves nothing less than a motion picture adaptation. You're in for a shockingly-good time!
