The 3rd book in the Saga: The Emperor Shangri-La died trying to
attack the Earth in book 1; the Empress-his twin sister-died trying
to attack Tom Swift in book 2. Now, it seems the very Moon on which
they built their Shangri-La colony of slaves is on the brink of
being attacked by the ground under their feet. Harlan Ames, former
Swift Enterprises Chief of Security has been the Administrator of
the now free colony but is getting anxious to take his twin
children back to Earth. Their safety may depend on it; their mother
was the much hated Empress! But, something bad is happening inside
the Moon. He hopes his old boss can figure things out before it is
too late. In the meantime, he leaves his children in the care of
Lola "Grandma" Reyes at the lunar colony while he heads out to see
if there is anything to discover at the former "Master's" ruined
fortress in the Philippines. It is a race against time to see if
clues can be found to help avoid a catastrophe.
In this hardbound second installment of the Lunar Trilogy (Tom
Swift and the Space Battering Ram was part 1) an environmental
disaster hits California at the same time the lunar colony-now free
of the tyranny of the Masters-is facing a crisis of their own, and
it seems a single solution needs to be found for both. At the same
time, Harlan Ames ventures to Tibet in search of answers about the
Empress and where she might have crashed her evacuation spacecraft.
What he finds will turn his world on end and nearly ruin the
now-free colony on the Moon. With his own troubles, Tom must find a
way to mine water from a passing comet and bring it to the Moon and
down to the Earth safely and quickly before people start to die. As
it is, people are leaving the state as if it is becoming a new
dustbowl. The inhabitants of the lunar colony don't have that
luxury. Will Harlan's search and Tom's projects succeed? Or, with
they intersect with disastrous consequences?
