(By the way there are spoilers ahead – this is definitely a series to be read in order, starting from [[Tesla 1 by Mark Lingane|Tesla 1]] ). Alone again now that Melanie has been killed, Sebastian makes it to North America. Far from it being the land of promise it used to be, the country is now an apocalyptic ruin, full of people scavenging for their survival and the Infected forging a path of worse-than-death and destruction. Sebastian needs to focus on his ultimate challenge as foreseen in a rather scary way but there's a small matter distracting him: who's firing rockets at him?
You know how misguided relatives sometimes believe they have a right to pat related children on the head and, to the child's cringing embarrassment, tell them how much they've grown as if they hadn't noticed? Having had the privilege and joy of reading all Australian author [[:CatgegoryCategory:Mark Lingane|Mark Lingane's]] novels from the debut [[Chasing Heart: 1 (Ellen Martin Disasters) by Mark Lingane|Chasing Heart]] onwards, I find myself having to resist that same urge, for Mark has certainly grown from debut rom-com tentativeness to a mass market SF series brilliance.
Yes, the Tesla series was written with the YA area in mind but it has become darker and a little more violent as the story's progressed, making it prime cross-over material while remaining compulsive reading for teens.
