Produktbeschreibung
In this hardbound edition of the 11th novel in The New Tom Swift Invention Series, someone is setting huge fires in an apparent attempt to draw Tom Swift into becoming involved in what looks like terrorist attacks. When a near tragedy and a request from a dear friend finally do prompt the young inventor into action, he discovers that an old enemy may be behind these fires. As he tries to find a solution for fighting the fires--and hopes that the FBI might catch the perpetrators--Tom finds that the writings of his namesake, the original Tom Swift, may hold the clues to the answer he seeks. An entire notebook tells the story of the trials and successes of his ancestor and his incredible fire fighting aerial ship. But can modern technology do what our Tom wants? This volume contains both the novel as well as a novella that tells the story of the original Tom and his search to create an aerial firetruck.
Autorenporträt
This is all part of a one-man effort to revise the world of Tom Swift. Except, that it isn't just me. There are about a half-dozen authors out here putting out really good Tom Swift novels and story collections. Most are better than the original publisher has been able to bring out in more than 50 years! Each author is taking a slightly different approach so if you tackle everything (more than 100 novels!) you might be in for a real reading!
