In book 28 of this new series, Tom Swift finds out that a wandering planet is coming into the solar system, and while it will not hit or even come close to the Earth, its trajectory will take it around the Sun and into a near miss (or possible collision) with the super giant, Jupiter many months later.That could cause untold damage to Earth if enough of that planet breaks off and heads inward.Without a lot of solid evidence as to what it will really do, but a very short time period in which to do something, Tom decides on a bold move to get this new planet, named Wanderer (for obvious reasons ) into another path that will not impact any part of the solar system before it leaves in about a year.He runs afoul of an old nemesis who holds a personal grudge more than a decade old plus an unscrupulous woman who seems out to avenge an old rivalry between Damon Swift and her mentor.

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.

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).
