I'm enjoying it so far. I'm about a quarter of the way through. I want to see more alternate universes.

^heh. Kinda the same thing as my post, really. 
wanna trade?
Is it as good as the Dresden Files?
So I finished Where The Hell Is Tesla? and enjoyed it quite a bit. It's very light and a quick read (it actually only took me a couple of days, but I forgot to post because this thread drifted off the main page). I wish there had been more alternate universes, but it did turn into quite a multiverse-threatening drama in the second half-- but, despite the stakes, it never got too grim or unpleasant, and held onto its brisk adventurous tone. The characters were all likable and their individual stories were all tied up neatly in the end. It almost had the feel of an RPG to it, and I wonder if the author based it on a game idea.
Now I'm reading a biography of Stirling Silliphant. Not only was he an interesting guy, but the book gives some good insight into how the TV industry was different several decades ago and why the quality of the writing was higher.

I am glad you enjoyed it but I agree that more alternative universes would have been better.
The book he is currently working on might be interesting

I recently finished The Rape of Nanking, which is one of the most depressing books I've ever encountered. It's on par wth Chris Hedge's Empire of Illusion. I'm following it up with Flying Tiger, on a small American squadron that fought on China's behalf before Japan ever attacked Pearl.
He certainly left plenty of room for a sequel, so fingers crossed.
That confused me for a minute because of the byline, but, yeah, I'm up for a peek into post-Apocalyptic New England.
Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.
Heh, and I just finished this one. It was Ok. I wouldn't call it one of my favourites. Some of the stories haven't aged very well. But some are brilliant, like The Veldt.
