Tom Swift Invention Series Now Available in Collector's Editions Along with the quality paperbound and electronic books editions available for purchase through my publishers, I have arranged with an expert to create hand bound editions for collectors of Tom Swift novels (both original series as well as fan fiction series). Each one is beautifully hand-made and features a full dust jacket with new artwork by Scott Dickerson--father of the newest round of TS works—as well as a custom fronticpiece depicting a scene from the story. The inside cover end papers have been adapted from Graham Kaye's original artwork for The New Adventures of Tom Swift Jr. books with the addition of some of Tom's new inventions from this series. Due to the longer stories I seem to write (I have been called "wordy" by many people) these books are about 30% thicker than traditional Tom Swift Jr. and Tom Swift Lives! stories. As each story is reformatted and the artwork is completed, they will appear on this page. All you need to do is click on the I AM INTERESTED button below any book. An email will be generated using your preferred email program. Simply iindicate which book or books you would like, and a quote will be sent to you in a day or so, or even less.
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #1
In EnvirOzone Revivicator, Tom and his father are tasked with finding a solution to the ever-increasing depletion of the Earth's ozone layer, especially over the South Pole. This comes in the form of an order from on international organization that can make things difficult for Swift Enterprises if they do not comply. To complicate things, Tom receives a personal plea to help save a tribe in a very dry Africal country. They need water and are in danger of dying without it. And, soon! Can Tom complete projects on two fronts while he also battles a mysterious enemy who seems bent on destroying whatever Tom is able to create?
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #2
In QuieTurbine SkyLiner, the inventor agrees to assist the country's top airlines out of a big double problem. For starters, fuel prices are cripling their ability to fly, and increasingly stringent noise pollution regulations threaten their existence. This, in spite of the fact that the airports were "there" first and the housing developments filing complaints came much later. Tom tries just about everything he can think of to improve both the efficiency or the jet turbine engine while seriously reducing its noise, but with only minimal results. When he decides he needs to construct a test platform aircraft he is stunned when just a month later one aircraft company begins showing off his drawings and claiming it as their own.
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #3
In Transcontinental BulleTrain, the President of the United States makes a promise to develop a high-speed freight system within an unrealistic time period. Swift Enterprises bids on a portion of the project that will require a completely new rail line to be laid from California to New York--one that bypasses roads, cities, mountains, rivers and lakes--on a train that must get across the nation in less than one day along with hundreds of tons of cargo. It seems it could be possible until several of the successful bidders begin backing out leaving the project in jeopardy. To top off things, one of the other companies seems to be doing everything they can to make Tom fail. With the biggest obstacle being the Rockies, Tom must concentrate most of his efforts on tunneling through hundreds and hundreds of miles of rock, and all in about one-twentieth the time normal methods might be capable of.
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #4
In Oceanic SubLiminator, the young inventor helps the U.S. Navy save the crew of a stricken nuclear submarine and later to salvage it. But, he learns about a terrible secret. Not only are there more than a half dozen missing nuclear subs scattered across the Atlantic ocean, there are numerous missing nuclear-tipped torpedoes and other materials down there as well. Congress and the Navy ask that he help to recover as many as he can before an unfriendly nation might be able to. To assist him, the Navy provides him with a mothballed super submarine once meant as an attack sub carrier. His efforts are shadowed by a mysterious submarine that doesn't exist, and is manned by a crew determined to make him fail. Or, die. But, the biggest secret lies ahead.
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER--10 Oct, 2012: TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #5
In Cyclonic Eradicator, Tom takes on the job of assisting the NOAA in buidling a base on the southwest coast of Florida. Not a normal Enterprises type of project, he agrees to do it when it looks as if only Enterprises can construct a base capable of withstanding the hurricanes that pass over the area every year. The one catch is that someone doesn't what Tom to succeed and tries to blow him out of the water... literally! Tom realizes early on that merely building a super strong base and dock isn't the solution. he must find a way to do the one thing everyone says is impossible: he needs to tame the weather. One promising solution almost kills him while others seem bent on making things worse. As he nears a real solution, an old enemy strikes and Tom and his friend Bud are stranded on the brink of death.
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #6
In Galactic Ambassador, Tom's Space Friends contact him with bad news. They are being recalled to their own solar system because their mission to visit the Earth has failed. The race they call their "masters' is demanding success or abandonment. When Tom is able to convice these masters to give him some time, they set an impossible deadline. The biggest obstacle to success is the fact that Tom has never been able to get the Space Friends to give him the sort of information he reallyneeds in order to understant their physiology and needs. With only one previous mission to Earth hundreds of years ago--that ended in the death of the space beings' ancentors--Tom must conquer the communications barrier, devise a way to bring them to Earth, figure out how to keep them from being crushed by our gravity, ensure they can breathe, supply them food, and about a thousand other things. Oh, and a saboteur seem destined to destroy whatever he comes up with!
TOM SWIFT INVENTION SERIES #7
In Paradox Planet, Tom is confronted with two major occurences. One—an upheaval in both the management and the output at the underwater Helium City--supplier of highest-quality helium gas for Enterprises and much of the free world, plus the mysterious and potentially Earth-shattering disappearance of one of our solar system's most discussed planets! Now, Tom has more things on his plate than he can possbly manage. But, when a group of kidnappers capture him, and disappear before he can be ransomed, Tom is overwhelmed and begins losing track of some of the details in his work. Will he be able to handle multiple attempts on his life, a stealth submarine, an attack on Fearing Island and a near riot at the United Nations when he tries to borrow a nuclear bomb? Take me back to the Tom Swift Invention Series page In addition to the Tom Swift stories, I also write stories under the pseudonym of T. Edward Fox. They may be found on this page.
