TOM IS IN DEEP-SEA TROUBLE...
Tom. Bud, and Yo are on the "S.S. Nestor, " a Swift Enterprises
research vessel, to witness Mr. Swift testing his submersible, the
"Verne-1." Mr. Swift plans to use the "Verne-1" to place a network
of seismometers on the sea floor to detect underwater earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, and other phenomena that might generate tidal
waves on the ocean's surface. But when an unexpected storm hits and
the "S.S. Nestor" looses contact with the "Verne-1, " it's up to
Tom to save his father.
ROBOTS + TERRORISTS = TROUBLE FOR TOM
Tom's been training his entry, SwiftBot, for the upcoming Robot
Olympics -- a major event being sponsored by the White House's
Office of Science and Technology. Teenage inventors from around the
country will be bringing their homemade robots to compete in a
series of athletic competitions. The Road Back, an antiscience
terrorist group, has issued a statement condemning the event, and
Tom hopes that the tight security at the Robot Olympics will keep
TRB from causing trouble. But no such luck. Someone is playing
dirty . . . and things are going to get dangerous.

lady - an exceedingly pretty young lady, she could be called -
stood with one small, gloved hand on the outstretched wing of an
aeroplane, and looked up at a young man, attired in a leather,
fur-lined suit, who sat in the cockpit of the machine just above
her. "Safe, Mary?" repeated the pilot, as he reached in under the
hood of the craft to make sure about one of the controls. "Why, you
ought to know by this time that I wouldn't go up if it wasn't safe
" "Oh, yes, I know, Tom. It may be all right for you, but I've
never been up in this kind of airship before, and I want to know if
it's safe for me."

Mr. Sharp," replied a young man, who was stationed near some
complicated apparatus, while the questioner, a dark man, with a
nervous manner, leaned over a large tank. "I'm going to turn on the
gas now," went on the man. "Look out for yourself. I'm not sure
what may happen."
