October 2, 2018, @ 10:30 in the lower level of Horizon Books.

The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore, historical fiction, (2017) 368 pages - submitted by Debra May.

This novel’s brilliant journey into the past begins in 1888, when the use of electricity was in its infancy and two great inventors, Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, were fighting to control its spread across the United States as well as to reap the wealth and glory that would follow the development of the electric light bulb. The author digs deep into long-forgotten facts to give us an exciting, sometimes astonishing story of two geniuses — Edison and Westinghouse —locked in a brutal battle to change the world. Nikolai Tesla features prominently in the story as do the attorneys involved in the patent cases. Bonus: In the background a true love story.
