An apelike
creature frozen in arctic ice for tens of thousands of years, and a reclusive philosopher nearly 100
years old, set the stage for Tom Swift's
latest astounding adventure. While perfecting his quantum telesphere, the
realization of the dream of making
transport instantaneous by shrinking space to a pinpoint, Tom is contacted by the team of scientists who have
uncovered the giant Gigans in an Alaska
ice cave. The theft of a tissue sample from the strangely preserved body alerts Tom to the threat of determined
foes whose motives are unexplained. A
scientific clue leads Tom and his friend Bud Barclay to London and danger from the dwarfish figure who shadows
them. Undeterred by fire, sabotage, and
kidnapping, Tom works to perfect his telesphere to free the ice giant without
destroying it. But there is a terrible cost -- Bud is lost in quantum
protospace!
