One thing all Tom Swift novels have in common is the lack of
details about his lesser inventions. How did they come about? Were
they part of something else of standalone projects? This series of
four collections attempts to put the story behind the 'thingamy' as
in, "Tom raced from the room pausing only long enough to cream the
thin gamy into his jacket pocket knowing it might come in handy
later on." Of course, it usually is a vital device for him, but
space and word colt requirements usually meant such details had to
be left out. Now you have the tales of seven of Tom's inventions,
everything from the origin of his Fat Man deep diving suit to the
creation of a brand new kind of forest ranger to an evacuation ball
allowing injured people in his outpost in space to get back to
Earth to a new jet aircraft that will become a favorite of his in
the New Tom Swift Inventions Series (also available from this
outlet), and a lot more.
