Lost plans for a terrifying weapon designed by Nikola Tesla fall into the hands of a centuries-old conspiracy bent on world domination. Powerful men will stop at nothing to use the weapon to achieve their goal, even at the risk of nuclear war.

Director Elizabeth Harker runs the Project, the secret hand of the US President. Nick Carter heads up the Project team in the field. Selena Connor is his teammate and lover. Together they pursue a twisted trail of clues that tests their relationship to the breaking point.

From the cobbled streets of Prague to the jungles of Mexico, from the ancient countryside of Tuscany to the barren plains of Central Russia, the story moves with relentless pace toward a final, explosive confrontation that will determine the future of humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars PRG Rated Best Action Adventure Series of 2012

I cannot recommend The Project Series enough to any adult who enjoys reading. I have been hooked on Mr. Lukeman's series for a few years now, and I await each chapter in his EPIC STORY.

The Project is a small band of heroic men and woman who believe in their country and would put their money where there mouths are and die for it. Elizabeth Harker is the head of our Team which has grown a bit more with each story.

Elizabeth has the ear of the President of the United States, but he would disavow any knowledge of them if he needed to. They go and do America's dirty work. Nick Carter, ex marine heads the team as Team Leader. Harker's assistant and computer techky extraordinaire is Stephanie Willets, along with Ronnie Peete and Lamont Cameron ex Navy Seal. Selena Connor joined the team helping with her expert knowledge in ancient languages. With her training in jujitsu and handguns, while a young woman being raised by her Uncle, Selena has added the spice to Nick Carters life.

We have followed them over hill and dale, jumping from helicopters, diving in oceans and their once unobtrusive team has come into the spotlight now as a might to be reckoned with. To open this newest book and find Selena and Nick all curled up together, and Nick hears a slight sound that peeks his psyche. Jumping up, alerting Selena they move quickly from bed, pull some clothes with them and jump from the cabin; Nick had thought safe as it explodes in the middle of the snowy forest. Besides the enemy having new plans for Americas destruction, the head of a group known as AEON, Malcolm Foxworth has not been happy being thwarted by our gang recently, he has put a `hit' on all it's members. Hold on to you hats folks...Here we go again!

As in the last book, Black Harvest, we have two more allies. One gentleman is a mystery to us all, he seems to pull up in a mysterious car, invites Nick entry and fills him in on important pieces of information... We like him... Who is he and what is his agenda???

Major Arkady Korov, working for the Russian Secret Service, had worked with our team in Black Harvest. This resulted in both he and our team a mutual respect and he again will be involved in this story as well.

Mr Lukeman takes us to all corners of the globe in his stories, but I had the most fun with going to Brooklyn the Borough of my birth, being in Brighton Beach , and dealing with the Russian Mafia.

The story is faced paced, true to a power house of good vs evil. But I stepped back this time, as maybe Alex did, and read the wonderful job of his searching out Selena. Remember she came from great wealth, and now she is in Camo, holds a gun like the boys, jumps from heights shooting, and has become a killing machine. Mr Lukeman takes her story one step further with Selena and her her emotional fight, dealing with what she has become, and has to decide if this is what she really wants....This made a marvelous story within a story and I applaud him for taking this time to add this to her character. The `Boys' were all servicemen, special ops and had always said they had a different philosophy. Now Selena has to measure where she is going and what she wants.

Alex Lukeman it is always a pleasure to read your work. You are a truly a wonderful storyteller and I await the next in your series...A wonderful addition.

A Review by Anthony (Tony) T. Riggio of "The Tesla Secret" by Alex Lukeman

I read this book a couple of years ago having downloaded it for free from Bookbubs and read it and then forgot about it. A couple of days ago, I brought it to the screen on my Kindle and started reading it (again) having forgotten my first reading. by the time I realized that this was a re-read, I searched Goodreads and Amazon to see if I listed the book. Since I hadn't, I continued reading it.

It is a faced paced read with lots of action and predictable action heroes and a predictable plot involving new weaponry science though there was nothing complicated about the believability of the weapons power. It involved the technology of Nikola Testa (the inventor of Alternating Current and other things like the Tesla generator). The story involves the machinations of a criminal group of power movers in several countries bent on ultimate control of the world.

Fighting against this group is a small government organization (possible connections to the CIA). The members of this group are all super heroes and warriors extraordinaire.

It is well written, in spite of the simplicity of the story line and appealing to those readers that like "Bondish" adventurism. I was between reads and needed some diversion into relaxed reading. It is a quick read and one is able to read it in a couple of hours or during a transcontinental flight.

I did enjoy the work but will reserve judgment as to reading the previous works in this five book series but then again, I may need some relaxing adventurism.

I gave it 4 stars out of 5 and it did satisfy the need for relaxing reading, albeit this was an action thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tesla Was Before His Time-But That Was Then...
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014

It's a Lukeman....of course I expect to love it. The Tesla Secret is the 5th in The Project series. Our favorites, Nick Carter and Selena Connor continue to take abuse, though this time I began to wonder if Selena was going to survive, or survive intact. Elizabeth Harker is the Project Director, a strong effective leader with the President's ear, though I wondered this time if she was going to bend it at all--she's a pretty independent lady and doesn't seem to need his approval. The Project members are after a bad guy named Foxworth who is hot on the trail of another Tesla concept, who was definitely before his time and shut down probably by the same people who insisted the earth was flat and there'd never be submarines. Elizabeth manages to enlist the cooperation of the Russian version of The Project as the telluric installation appears to be on their soil. As always, the mix of fact and fiction provides some fascinating speculation and insight into military artillery and the concept of telluric energy. Lukeman threw us a new wrinkle in his wrap-up this time, almost an epilogue, that really left me wondering about the next offering in the series. Recommended for anyone ready to dive into a page turner with non-stop action.

The Tesla Secret: The Project: Book Five: 5

There are some books that you just can't put down and this is one of them. The story takes off at a fast pace and the momentum just keeps mounting. The central characters are well drawn, easy to empathize with and they have good, believable dialogue.
I enjoyed the descriptive passages which place you in the story without slowing it down in anyway. There is literally never a dull moment, I was kept wondering what was going to happen next as I was caught up in the twists and turns of a masterly crafted plot. I wish I'd read the others from the beginning of the series. Although, this works extremely well as a standalone book. I don't want to spoilt it for the reader by giving away too much of the plot, but it has obviously been very well researched and carefully thought out. I shall definitely be reading more of this author's books. This one is a five star bargain!

Excellent thriller, lots of action, plenty of characters - just enough descriptions of things to let the reader use their own imagination as to what happens between the lines. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

Not a bad story, quite inventive but didn't hold me as well as previous titles. Still worth a quick read as well researched as always.
