I haven't rec'd my books yet but I can't help but wonder about the latest incarnation of TS. Is he Jr's son, Sr's son, TS IV's son? Inquiring minds wnat to...

Found this on the web! I am wondering if the key scientists were Tom Swift Readers? Just my contribution to Book 1. Plastics that can deflect cosmic radiation...
If you look at each book's ISBN's you will note that #2 ROBOT OLYMPICS has a lower ISBN (ending in 1361) than #1 INTO THE ABYSS (ending in 1518). This means...
Finished INTO THE ABYSS last night. Could have been better, but it could easily have been a lot worse, too. If I had a son, I'd read it to him at bedtime. ...
... you a lot. I have no objection to discussion of ISBNs when it pertains to Tom Swift but the thread I commented on had lost all connection with the series. ...

... James, You forgot one other character. Sandra's friend Phyliis Newton. Although she hasn't had much page time yet, Mary is always having to tell Sandra...
When I finished reading "Into The Abyss" I felt that it could've fit right in in the Tom Swift Sr/Tom Swift Jr. series. It was also intersting to see how...
