Writer interested in feedback on this work

Now this is a log line that I want to read.

The battle between Tesla and Edison?  Hell yeah!

If you can pull this off you have a great HBO/Starz/Showtime mini series, a la Big Little Lies.

Granted, I know who wins the battle.  But still...I want to see it go down.

Read up to page 35 so far. I was interested in this because I recently watched documentaries on both Tesla and Edison, they both had very fascinating lives. Certainly gets more interesting as it goes along. Even though we have less of him up until now, I find Edison the more interesting charecter. Very elaborate era piece, going to cost a fortune, especially that steam boat.

I take it back; the character Tesla is just as fascinating. This would make a very interesting show, dealt with a lot of different themes. The black characters that Tesla hooks up towards the end where quite interesting. Like a good drama, this concentrated more on character than the science. I would give it a different title though. Why not just call it 'Edison Vs. Tesla' or 'Edison and Tesla'.
Note: I don't know if it was deliberately supposed to be vague, but why did an angry Levi throw the glass at the wall?

Read the first ten - stellar work, IMO. I have just finished the National Geographic Series - "Genius" - re: Albert Einstein - this seems to be on that level. Will read more

PS - not a huge fan of the title

Yes, change that title.
