In this 8th in the new Tom Swift Invention Series, Tom Swift finds himself involved in a galactic mystery. Something very much like a black hole has been discovered a dozen light years away, but nobody can say for certain what it really is... or if it will affect the Earth. The thing about black holes is they suck in light so they can't really be seen.Tom wants to go investigate. Even his quickest unmanned rockets can't carry enough fuel for such a trip. So a shortcut seems to be the only chance. His knowledge tells him that wormholes are more than a science fiction hypothesis, but how the heck can he go about locating one? Even if he finds one, how can he determine where it might exit? When an old video surfaces showing proof to and open and willing mind that wormholes exist and can be opened for brief periods, he also finds it takes the power of a nuclear bomb to do so. If he overcomes all issues, he and Bud may be on a one way trip. They encounter the anomaly-and it's a doozy-but they also find themselves face-to- uhhh, hands? Giant ghostly hands beckon them, but what can it all mean? With little air and no fuel, what can Tom do?NOTE: Although this book shares a common title with one of the Tom Swift Jr. books published in late 1971, it IS NOT that book. Nor is it that story.

One thing all Tom Swift novels have in common is the lack of details about his lesser inventions. How did they come about? Were they part of something else of standalone projects?This series of four collections attempts to put the story behind the 'thingamy' as in, "Tom raced from the room pausing only long enough to cream the thin gamy into his jacket pocket knowing it might come in handy later on."Of course, it usually is a vital device for him, but space and word colt requirements usually meant such details had to be left out.Now you have the tales of seven of Tom's inventions, everything from the origin of his Fat Man deep diving suit to the creation of a brand new kind of forest ranger to an evacuation ball allowing injured people in his outpost in space to get back to Earth to a new jet aircraft that will become a favorite of his in the New Tom Swift Inventions Series (also available from this outlet), and a lot more.

All Tom Swift novels have more than the primary invention from the title, but there is a lack of details about those lesser inventions. How did they come about? Were they part of something else of standalone projects?This series of four collections attempts to put the story behind the 'thingamy' as in, "Tom raced from the room pausing only long enough to cream the thin gamy into his jacket pocket knowing it might come in handy later on."Now you have the latest tales of five of Tom's inventions, plus one from his father, Damon Swift. In this volume is everything from the fight to built a reconnaissance aircraft the Government needs instead of the one they ask for, an incredible set of new musical instruments Tom hopes will help a favorite teacher keep her music program, a high-dive from orbit in only a space suit, an engine that uses only sound, and a giant fish. Most of these are mentioned in various novels from the New Tom Swift Inventions Series (also available from this outlet).

Within each Tom Swift novel there are a couple major characters who you get to know, and a lot of secondary characters who walk in, say a few lines, and walk out. You never get the chance to know who they are other that in that contextI have set about writing back stories for these people. The novels may not have the 9,000 - 15,000 words to devote to giving you a good background story about them, but these collections do.This third book contains stories about the two men at Enterprises who are always getting mistaken for each other (and how they finally fixed that ), the journals of Doc Simpson and his many times spent fixing Tom after he has been injured, how Tom met his girlfriend while building his giant aircraft, the Sky Queen, the story of the Swift's super-efficient secretary, Miss Trent, and the tale of Tom and Bud entering a man-powered kinetic sculpture race.

When a mystery object crashes into a walkway at Swift Enterprises-just feet behind the inventor-it is the start of either one of Tom an Damon Swift's most recent joys... of the start of a terrible nightmare The Space Friends had disappeared from the solar system a couple years earlier, but it seems they are coming back. And, they will not (or cannot) tell Tom why they are coming. Once they do, a huge surprise is in store for everyone. Even the President of the United States has no idea what to do and allows the Swifts to "run the show."Tom must plan to do something neither Swift has ever considered to be an option; he must design and construct an offensive weapon just in case the visit turns out to not be a friendly one.

He finds himself developing a brand new vessel, one that likely needs to fly into the sky, through space at incredible speeds, and plunge into the thick atmosphere of the only other blue planet in our solar system, Neptune.There are several things going against him starting with all he unknowns about the distant planet and its blue ocean that appears to be mostly liquid methane. How in the world, or out of it, can you get through something that might be absolutely solid once you get under the surface. Then, how to you withstand the pressures from a compacted, nearly frozen liquid that is thousands of kilometers thick?To top things off, one of the nations funding this project insists he bring back several tons of what they believe will be priceless methane diamonds. If he refuses, or if they believe he is holding out on them, there might be political and economic repercussions
