Tom Swift
Invention Series
by Victor Appleton II
(Thomas Hudson)

The Victor Appleton II for this "Tom Swift Invention Series" is Thomas Hudson, who grew up entranced by the world of Tom Swift Jr. He is now quite a long way from being a young reader, but still still remembers the thrill of reading about the famous teen inventor who could do anything from rocketing into space, building robots, communicating with aliens, and creating a road that could float in the air. He now lives in the Pacific Northwest-the author, not Tom!-where his time is divided between writing and being a lazy retired guy. While he hopes that both old and new readers will enjoy the stories, he offers a word of caution: The innocence and naiveté of the original Tom Jr, along with some of the lesser characters, do not appear in these books. Some have been replaced by "stronger" individuals. There are a few people with similar names but this series is not just an add-on to the 1954-1971 books. It takes place in the near future to today that sees our hero more involved in issues concerning all of mankind rather than just building stuff. They are still meant to be enjoyed by readers as young as 8-9 who possess good reading skills, and can be enjoyed by people the author's own age bracket, that being below, at or above the 60-year mark. A total of at least 20 books are planned.

Tom Swift Invention Series Cover Art 01: Tom Swift and His EnvirOzone Revivicator - 2010 - For Sale

Teenage inventor and scientist, Tom Swift, begins an all new series of adventures. In this first story he must find ways to tackle two seemingly disconnected problems: repair the fragile ozone cap over the Antarctic; and bring a vital supply of water to a small African nation on the verge of death by dehydration. Thwarting him on both fronts are the appearance of several unmarked, black MIG fighter jets that attack him and his projects without warning or provocation. But, who is behind them? And, why are the pilots seemingly willing to die rather than be captured? Never one to bring politics into anything he does, Tom finds that he is deeply embroiled in the political situation between his small nation and a neighboring nation's fiendish dictator bent on taking over everything, even if that means killing all of the people of the smaller country.

02: Tom Swift and His QuieTurbine SkyLiner - 2010 - For Sale

In this second adventure of the new series, young inventor Tom Swift is approached by the airline industry. They have a big problem. well, two problems. First, as people build closer and closer to airports, noise complaints continue to grow. And, rather than tell people to stop moving next to busy airports, several state governments have demanded that additional steps be taken to reduce noise. But, about every possible step has already been instituted. They need Tom's help. The other problem is the soaring price of fuel. So, is there any way Tom can also make jet engines more efficient? Again, just about everything has been done toward that. Design after design and test after test prove insufficient to meet one or the other requirement, and definitely not both of them together. Finally a chance encounter by his sister and girlfriend with a stranger brings a light to the end of Tom's tunnel, and he is off. Through all this Tom and Swift Enterprises have been the victims of industrial espionage. It all comes to a head when, one the very even of Tom's public announcement of a solution, his designs are unveiled by a rival manufacturer.

The President of the United States, desperate to leave some sort of legacy once his term of office expires, has promised the nation that a great, new and ultra-modern freight-hauling bullet train system will begin to cross the country starting in just one year. The biggest problem? He hasn't started talking to any manufacturers or construction companies. Nobody has begun to design or build anything on a project that should take 10 years. Even when his advisors hatch a plan to split the work into dozens of manageable pieces, only a small handful of companies are willing to sign on. Tom Swift-knowing his company's strengths-believes that he can figure a way to dig the massive tunnels under the various mountain ranges on the western half of the country, and may even be able to build the locomotive engines. Things get underway but within weeks a few of the other companies begin to abandon their work, making it necessary for someone to take on more and more. To Tom and his father, that means Swift Enterprises. A rival company owner has it in for Tom, and a mysterious source of governmental sabotage is somewhere in Washington DC. With the lack of time and so many other things against him, is it going to be a mission impossible for the young inventor?

More than that, he must also find their nuclear-tipped torpedoes and reactors, some of which are no longer with their hulls, and recover them safely as well. With nothing available from his own company, it looks hopeless until the U.S. Navy loans him a holdover from the Cold War, a gigantic submarine carrier capable of holding and launching several attack class subs. He refits it for the mission, trains a half-Enterprises and half Navy crew, and sets out only to discover that saboteurs, spies, possible terrorists and even foreign governments are out to see him fail. But the ultimate danger comes later when they discover more than anyone could have ever believed!

The colonists on Mars have been living in peace and relative comfort, until it is discovered that one of the two small moons racing overhead, Phobos, seems to have dropped in altitude and is continuing to come closer. Since this was not suppose to be at a rate of more than a few inches a year, but is in the hundreds of miles, this is a great worry to them. And, to Tom Swift.

He arrives on Mars and uses his repelatron-powered ship, The Challenger, to push the moon back up into position only to find that it starts coming back down. An investigation on the surface of Phobos shows that it has a higher gravity than it should, and the only reason Tom can figure is that the former Space Friends must have planted one of their gravity generating stones somewhere. But, where?

And, once he finds it, how can he go about digging more than a hundred feet onto a moon that is barely held together and is composed of rocks and dust gathered over more than a million years. One false dig and the entire thing could break apart.

The Space Friends are of no help as they have all but disappeared. So, Tom sets out to do the impossible; replace Phobos in its rightful position once and for all times so the colony can go back to being safe.

Tom Swift has been involved in many projects in his 28 years of life, some horrifically dangerous and some very tame and fun, but he has never been involved in trying to make the impossible, possible, and never has he worked with a "UFOs exist" man who might actually be onto something!

Until now.

When a very rich man comes to Tom telling him of the almost crippling lack of land on which people might build without deforesting large areas or ripping out growing fields, farms and ranches, Tom cannot argue the point. He'd even been involved building underwater growing environments before. Land was what we have and we cannot build any more of it.

Or, can we?

The man sets forth a challenge: build a city in the sky. Not something up on poles but an honest to gosh floating city. Like the sky cities of science fiction, only actual and habitable.

The city part is easy; the floating part may take a crackpot idea to work!

Tom Swift Senior

Tom Swift Invention Series Cover Art Tom Swift and His Aerial Firetruck: A Tom Swift Sr. Novella - 2013 - For Sale

This is the companion story to the Tom Swift Invention Series novel #11: "Tom Swift and the AntiInferno Suppressor." Details from this pre-story are heavily referenced in the full novel, although this story can be fully enjoyed as a stand-alone tale starring the very first Tom Swift. And, vice versa. Tom is distraught when the historical Shopton Hotel burns to the ground-possibly an act of a pyromaniac or as an act of mischief that got out of hand-while the town's fire fighters stand by helpless. None of their old pumping equipment can shoot water high enough. Tom believes the solution may lie in flying the water over the fire, but his own flying ship cannot lift very much weight. So, he sets about building a new, special airship that will use a revolutionary method of dousing the flames. Test after test show he is getting closer to success, but it takes another fire to prove that his system works! The tie in to the later novel is that the Tom Swift of the future (this Tom's great-grandson) finds the diary detailing the trials and errors just at a time when he, himself, is attempting to come up with a modern flying fire fighting machine.
