Tom and his friends must use their ingenuity and resourcefulness to overcome these obstacles and protect their invention. The book is filled with thrilling action, suspenseful moments, and fascinating scientific concepts, making it a must-read for fans of science fiction and adventure stories.The moment Tom disappeared behind his machine shop, Sam Snedecker began a desperate struggle to escape from Ned Newton. Now Ned was a muscular lad, but his work in the bank was confining, and he did not have the chance to get out doors and exercise, as Sam had. Consequently Ned had his hands full in holding to the squirming crony of Andy Foger.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

From AudioFile
The young inventor, Tom Swift, re-enters the lives of a whole new generation. The airship, the electric automobile, the moving picture camera--the tools of Tom's adventures--may seem tame for a Star Wars generation, but a 7-year-old can believably assume Tom's role and is riveted as each escapade unfolds. Patrick Treadway employs a collection of zany voices. Much of the text is narrated in a clear, straightforward way, which allows the young listener to follow the encounters of the colorful participants. Treadway delivers the slightly stilted speech and racial/cultural stereotypes with a gentle tongue-in-cheek tone that mitigates offense. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
