Produktbeschreibung
In this hardbound edition of the 12th adventure in the new series, Tom Swift decides his 4-year-old space station, the Outpost in Space, is now too small. When you outgrow something you make it larger or you replace it. Tom's plan is not just ambitious, it is almost impossible. He want to build a giant space station capable of rotating to provide its 1,000 or more inhabitants with near Earth-like gravity and incredible surroundings. Two problems are in his way: money and getting all the materials up there. When even his own government appears to condemn his efforts Tom must turn to an alternate source for his building materials-mining what he needs from asteroids. But he needs a way to transport raw materials to Earth and finished goods into orbit. The solution has never been tried except in science fiction. He decides to build a space elevator. But with so many challenges and even the United Nations looking like they want to take over the new station, he finds that he is just about on his own.

Autorenporträt
This is all part of a one-man effort to revise the world of Tom Swift. Except, that it isn't just me. There are about a half-dozen authors out here putting out really good Tom Swift novels and story collections. Most are better than the original publisher has been able to bring out in more than 50 years! Each author is taking a slightly different approach so if you tackle everything (more than 100 novels!) you might be in for a real reading!
