In book 23 of this series, 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.

Hunter Green is an essential primer for the urban, eco-conscious non-hunter who is curious about the idea of harvesting natural, organic, cruelty-free food from the natural world. These pages give even the 'greenest' novice a set of facts, tips and guidelines that will get them out hunting safely and productively. And the discussion takes place within a 21st century worldview of climate science, industrial animal cruelty and shifting societal attitudes. Author Thomas Hudson gently and fairly re-examines our cultures often unexamined and superficial attitudes to this age-old craft. He comes to some fresh and surprising answers to questions like: is hunting cruel? Is it possible to hunt in an ethical, respectful, and sustainable manner? Might there be common ground between the rural, pro-hunting faction, the opposing group who strongly believe hunting has no place in the modern world, and the hesitant, urban, green hunter?While never losing sight of the stakes involved, Hunter Green also makes it fun. For example, in discussing the safe handling of your firearm, Hudson notes: "Next to a karaoke microphone, no tool you'll ever hold will have greater potential to do yourself and others serious harm."

There are many things that puzzle Tom Swift. But among the most vexing in recent times is the discovery of an impossible planet, and one that has existed within the solar system for possibly as long as the Earth. Yet, it has gone completely overlooked and undetected. Now, as Tom supervises a mining operation in the asteroid belt remotely from Shopton, a mysterious something crosses a million miles in front of his ship, the Sutter. Like a ghost in the corner of a dark room, it is vaguely there and yet it is not. And so, he decides to find out just what it is. What Tom and his crew find is a planet that is not the ordinary spherical shape. It isn't even a rough piece of rock as with almost every asteroid other than Ceres. It most certainly is not Ceres. How it manages to remain together is one mystery to solve, but when he attempts to land on this invisible planet, all he finds is a type of chaos that is enough to make even the most sane man think he is crazy Join Tom as he finds out the truths about the mystery planet that has been "out there" practically forever.

The 31st book in this series. Tom Swift and his father are among the best in the world when it comes to designing and building safe and powerful nuclear-based power generators. In fact, Damon Swift became the first ever wholly self-funded, private designer and operator of a nuclear power and research center, the Citadel in New Mexico.Now, Tom is called upon to come up with something so new and radical to create a nearly endless stream of electricity meant to replace several old or even decommissioned nuclear plants in the Pacific Northwest-an area known for its environmentalist and demand for safe energy.He searches for a way to outdo the best of the best, and with his father's help and blessings, sets out to build a better reactor. The problem is, and he discovers this early on, nuclear power may have already hit its upper limits.Is there something he can do that will give the people of Canada, and even Washington, Oregon and parts of Idaho, what they need. Will it be clean and, above all, safe Will a determined group of underground eco-terrorists manage to destroy what he is building before it has the chance to prove its worth?

It was anything but either of those things. Now, nearly sixteen years later he believes he might do something to make that dream come true. He sets out to design an aircraft that might travel at five times the speed of sound.Because he is award that he cannot continuously spend without bringing some sales into Swift Enterprises, he plans to build a hypersonic passenger jet capable of getting half way around the world in about three-and-a-half hours. It is an ambitions plan.It comes to the attention of at least two unfriendly entities, both of whom try to ruin his plans; at least one believes that killing the inventor is the way to accomplish this.By taking things in little steps, he inches closer and closer to his dream, but can he manage to do it while remaining safe?

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.

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.
