There are many things that puzzle Tom Swift. But among the most vexing in recent times is the discovery of an impossible planet, and one that has existed within the solar system for possibly as long as the Earth. Yet, it has gone completely overlooked and undetected. Now, as Tom supervises a mining operation in the asteroid belt remotely from Shopton, a mysterious something crosses a million miles in front of his ship, the Sutter. Like a ghost in the corner of a dark room, it is vaguely there and yet it is not. And so, he decides to find out just what it is. What Tom and his crew find is a planet that is not the ordinary spherical shape. It isn't even a rough piece of rock as with almost every asteroid other than Ceres. It most certainly is not Ceres. How it manages to remain together is one mystery to solve, but when he attempts to land on this invisible planet, all he finds is a type of chaos that is enough to make even the most sane man think he is crazy! Join Tom as he finds out the truths about the mystery planet that has been "out there" practically forever.

About the Author

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!

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
