Tom Swift And His Flying Lab

Plot

This brand-new series of adventure for boys introduces Tom Swift, son of the famous inventor of a generation ago. Young Tom is now an inventor in his own right. As an associate in his father's great enterprise at Shopton, his brilliant mind is seething with the inventive genius that will make him even better known than his father. In this first exciting book of the new TOM SWIFT series Tom's gigantic flying laboratory will carry you faster than sound into a thrilling struggle against a gang of international enemies. Tom must overcome the scheming of this gang as well as terrific mechanical problems to build his fabulous aircraft, which will soar straight up from the ground, fly at supersonic speeds, and carry scout planes in its own hangar. When the Sky Queen is completed, Tom and his friend Bud Barclay take off for South America, where the same enemies are seeking to gain control of a mountain of uranium. The tense action of their adventures fills every chapter. Tom Swift's inventions may be years ahead of the time, just as his father's were in their time, but they are all plausible and some day you may see them in use.
