Book Two of the award-winning Tesla Evolution.

When friends fail and cities fall, when enemies grow strong taking everything you treasure, what can you do? Strike back. Sebastian and Melanie crusade against the cyborg enemy, risking everything against betrayal's cruel bite.

The Steam Academy is being rebuilt, but the city is not the same. The fortress of science--the last sanctuary from the marauding cyborg army sweeping the land--is being twisted by refugees as they flood to the city for protection.

The world changes, power corrupts, and the enemy becomes harder to identify.

Dark deeds are afoot, and friends are not who they appear to be as Sebastian and Melanie embark on a mission that leads them into the very heart of the enemy's territory, where they must face their darkest fears and risk losing everything that is important to them.

Editorial Reviews

The second in the excellent teen dystopian Tesla series ramps up the tension. The war against the enemy cyborgs intensifies but not all enemies are as easy to spot, especially once they're mingling among the allies.

...Tesla series is more than a pinnacle: it's a pinnacle with the phrase 'movie material' balancing on the top.

... I read the book in one sitting as the tension and action climbed to one stonking great climax and a pretty huge cliff-hanger.

Mark Lingane successfully continues the unique style of Tesla and this new book is even more enjoyable. This particular style is on course to become a distinct genre in its own right. And that says everything about the brilliance of the author. Never one to be restricted by conventional barriers, Mark does not let such trivia stand in the way of his unique handling of a novel.

A brilliant 5 star read!

Written with verve and wit, packed with action and authorial legerdemain ... Lingane's prose style is warm, humorous, energetic, and controlled, a tough job to handle when the pacing moves at air-scorching speed. He has mastered the art of moving a story through action without leaving the reader behind.

The overall tongue-in-cheek levity of the first has faded with the serious nature of the sequel and has now become a more somber and complex affair, but with the same witty and unusual author behind the wheel to provide a fun and enjoyable edge to the piece again. The book is gentle when it needs to be and hard when the bolts hit the fan, and there's not really a boring paragraph in it.
Lingane is certainly an author to pay close attention to this year and in the future. 5 Stars
