An air race with a prize of $10,000: Tom feels obliged to win it by custom designing a "speedy" 2-seat airplane. The craft is lightweight, small, and FAST. The plans for the prototype go missing - plus an assault on Tom, a fire, and overwork all combine to cause Tom's father to have what is presumed to be a heart attack. Tom uses his plane to summon help from a famous, but distant surgeon. A diabolical twist in the tale as we learn who is behind the evil deeds!Tom Swift, the inspirational boyhood hero of Steve Wozniak and Isaac Asimov, is an all-American young inventor in his teens. These fantastic and future-predicting stories are VERY alive today. Swift was modeled after the entrepreneurial and inventive geniuses Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, who both changed our world more than any other two people. Like Arthur C. Clarke, Swift invented or predicted many modern discoveries including the Taser, camcorder, video-phone, electric car, and several others.
