"Drag race of an international espionage thriller... a game-changing event occurs in every chapter... The intensity is relentless."
- KIRKUS REVIEWS

When genius inventor Nikola Tesla died in the midst of World War II, the FBI combed through his secret research – and discovered an invention so extraordinary that the agent could only reveal it to President Franklin Roosevelt in person. He didn't make it. The government never found what he discovered – but a Hollywood star murdered by the Nazis left a clue.



When a cabal of rogue Saudi princes conspires with a global energy giant, power-hungry EU officials, and a corrupt Washington law firm to devastate the United States' economy, it is up to Justice Department prosecutor Patrick Carlton to track down Tesla’s lost formula before it is too late. But others want it first.



From the haunts of old Hollywood to the deserts of Saudi Arabia, through the wilds of Alaska to European capitals, Carlton will need the help of a beautiful Hollywood tour guide, a competitive FBI agent, a billionaire reformed mafia don, a scientist from a deep-black government agency, and a Polish secret agent to save the global economy from ruin and bring the plotters to justice. 



But first, Carlton must stay alive.

“Kublicki holds down the throttle in this drag race of an international espionage thriller….Readers won’t have to wait for Kublicki to deliver the action; a game-changing event occurs in every chapter, and the secrets seep out slowly, just enough to lead readers deeper into this labyrinth of interlocking plots….Kublicki’s forte is white-knuckle action and the plot structure feeds that talent.….the complexity makes for solid entertainment because Kublicki ties up hanging threads—not that there’s much time for them to dangle. The intensity is relentless. His short paragraphs, concise sentences and carefully paced chapters create a race for the finish line. Intricate plots at breakneck speed, with a dash of science and international politics.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Kublicki has definitely brought action/​adventure/​intrigue/​espionage novels to a new level....His words will hold readers riveted and keep them sitting on the edge of their seats; an amazingly interesting and realistic story....A five star read." -–REBECCAS READS

"THE TESLA FORMULA's unique blend of lawyers, guns and money...supercharge this novel and set it apart from other action thrillers....the action keeps readers on their toes. Carlton is the thinking man's action hero. THE TESLA FORMULA is like Law and Order meets The Sum of All Fears. Kublicki vaults the reader on a journey through international banking and finance behind the world's turbulent energy markets. [He] convincingly weaves law and economics into the modern action thriller and makes it work."
–UNDERGROUND BOOK REVIEWS

"Electrifying intrigue cannot begin to describe the international treachery of Kublicki's villainous cast of spies, murderers, crooked pols and depraved Saudi princes set upon destroying the free world's economy. Only the secret of Nikola Tesla's lost formula can save us. The theme is as up to date as tomorrow's headlines. No author paints his characters with greater élan or more scholarly and loving authenticity."
–Margaret Cheney, author of "Tesla, Man Out of Time", co-author of "Tesla: Master of Lightning"
