This is the story of an unlikely love at the dawn of the electric age in America. In 1914, Toma Pekocevic is a penniless immigrant in New York, recently escaped from the bloody politics of the Balkans that has claimed most of his family. He is also a gifted inventor who designs a powerful water turbine while working with Harriet Bigelow, the scion of a proud Connecticut iron-making dynasty, now fallen on hard times. Their attraction is immediate and overwhelming, but every circumstance is against them. Toma is eventually brought inside the walls of General Electric, which is on the verge of providing electricity to the entire nation. His invention is all he has after losing Harriet to a wealthy politician, but Toma is determined to win her back, setting the stage for a confrontation that could change the course of history. Evocative and engrossing, THE LIGHTNING KEEPER is a rich tapestry of science, technology, romance and war - an unforgettable American saga that establishes Starling Lawrence as one of the most talented writers at work today.a
