Excellent narrative crafting, good pacing, satisfying ending. Great read.

The Curious Case of Rudolph Diesel is an engaging and meticulously crafted narrative that delves into the life and mysterious disappearance of Rudolph Diesel, the man behind the revolutionary engine. The book is packed with intriguing historical insights, uncovering layers of industrial history and the darker, secretive world surrounding Diesel’s inventions. The author’s writing style is compelling, weaving together a rich tapestry of facts and deceptions that kept me hooked. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in history, engineering, or mystery.

Read it in one day.

I enjoyed this so much I couldn’t put it down. Terrific writer, and terrific story.

Fascinating read, walking through the history of a pivotal time, and rooting for Diesel to succeed. Mr. Brunt must’ve done a TON of research, and his theory near the end breaks new ground with a surprise ending to the story. Highly recommended!

Hindsight is 20/20. A very enjoyable read with a most satisfying ending.

An Excellent portrait of the life and times during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s in Europe, Russia, and the USA as told through the life of the man who changed the world. Although the main story revolves around the life of Rudolph Diesel and the eventual invention of the Diesel engine, the side stories about Rockefeller, Kaiser Wilhelm, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, World War I ,and many others color a unique portrait of the era of invention and war. Painstakingly researched and documented. A must read for history buffs and/or murder mystery aficionados.

I love history, and machines, and this, by far, is the best of both.
