TOM SWIFT LIVES! new and revised books based on Tom Swift Jr.
Tom Swift Lives!
In the early years of the 20th Century, juvenile-book entrepreneur
Edward Stratemeyer conceived a series of books aimed at young boys
chronicling the adventures of a brilliant teenage inventor by the name
of Tom Swift. Written by several authors (mainly Howard R. Garis of
"Uncle Wiggly" fame) and issued under the series pseudonym "Victor
Appleton," the forty volumes (1910-1941) were remarkably popular, and
may be said to have influenced a generation of budding geniuses. In
1954 the heirs of Stratemeyer resumed the series: but now it was The
New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures, its hero the even more brilliant son of
the original Tom Swift (who still made appearances as the eminence
gris of the Swifts' modern high-tech invention facility, of which
he was the CEO), and the pseudonymous author was now "Victor Appleton
II" (for the most part a gifted storyteller named James Duncan
Lawrence). Straddling the fondly-remembered era of nuclear subs,
supersonic jets, color TVs, big-finned cars, and sputniks, Tom Jr. and
his supporting cast lived on for thirty-four volumes of their own. But
Tom Swift Jr.
lives on—in our hearts, in our childhood affections, in the science
classes he helped us pass once upon a time. And now he lives on here,
in a series of full-length tales that are tribute, parody, and modern
resurrection. The titles and tales may look familiar, but be warned:
this is an alternate-reality Tom Swift, great-grandson of the first
one, living today in a world where Tom Jr. never existed. In
other words, it's updated-for-modern-readers time, new stories with a twist or two.
Join Tom and his pal Bud Barclay in these thrilling unauthorized
stories "for today's science-minded boys!"
