| 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 that 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 second book contains stories about the first major invention from a young Tom Swift Jr., an adventure of his cousin as he tries to locate a giant and cursed diamond in Afghanistan, one of Enterprises' top test pilots tells about what he knows and how he has managed to survive so many crash landings, the story about the day Bud Barclay came back to Enterprises after having worked as a civilian astronaut-and not because of happy reasons-, and finally a bonus story about young Tom Swift and how he helped save the Christmas spirit for his little sister. |
