Publisher Description: Within each Tom Swift novel there are a couple major characters who you get to know, and a lot of secondary characters who walk in, say a few lines, and walk out. You never get the chance to know who they are other than in that context. I have set about writing back stories for these people. The novels may not have the 9,000 - 15,000 words to devote to giving you a good background story about them, but these collections do. This first book contains stories about the original Tom Swift's wife, Mary Nestor, and her diary entries from their honeymoon, a story where ranch chef Chow Winkler gets challenged to a cooking contest, one story about Enterprises' security chief and his assistant as they solve an international blackmail incident aimed at their boss, another is a university lecture given by George Dilling, head of Communications, and finally a book about young Tom Swift and his very proud father. |
