Reseña del libro "Nikola's Gate (en Inglés)"
When chemistry graduate student Luka Petrović watches an impossible crystal bloom to life in his Zurich lab — a structure that sings, breathes, and responds to his touch before shattering into dust — he assumes it’s an anomaly. His grandfather Ivan knows better. Within hours, Luka is fleeing Zurich with a warning echoing in his ears: a dangerous alchemical organization called Lux Sangria has been watching him, and they will come for him.Luka soon discovers that he has inherited a rare alchemical sensitivity that makes him uniquely capable of finding and bonding with the Cor Vitae — a legendary crystalline artifact described in Tesla’s encrypted journals as the heart of planetary consciousness. His grandfather, now a captive of Lux Sangria’s charismatic and ruthless leader Alphonse Fischer, is being used as bait. Fischer’s plan is chilling in its logic: reduce the world’s population to 1950 levels, eliminate the billions he considers unsustainable, and rebuild civilization under a single technocratic authority empowered by alchemical magic. To do it, he needs to pass through an ancient threshold called the Door. And to do that, he needs Luka.Guided by a trail of clues deliberately hidden across Strasbourg and Paris by Tesla himself — encoded in a secret notebook, a resonant astrolabe, and the hidden architecture of the Paris Opera House — Luka races to find the Cor Vitae before Fischer can seize it. Alongside him is Jayla Reddy, a director of the ancient Adventure Club of Europe, whose own alchemical abilities and deep knowledge of Tesla’s legacy make her both indispensable and compelling. Behind them, Fischer closes in with a small army of followers, a kidnapped grandfather, and a spy embedded in Luka’s own circle.Tesla’s Gate is an occult thriller set against the backdrop of accelerating climate collapse, in which ancient alchemical knowledge, Nikola Tesla’s suppressed science, and the fate of billions collide across the hidden chambers and secret histories of Europe.
