Produktbeschreibung

Tom Swift And His Aerial Warship Or The Naval Terror Of The Seas written by Victor Appleton. The Great War, often known as World War I, was well underway when the story was written in 1915. The narration starts with Tom introducing his most recent invention to his friend Ned Newton. While having this conversation they both observed fire breaking out in one of the sheds where explosives are kept. Then, an investigation reveals that the fire was intentionally started after it had been extinguished. Moreover, Tom has asked Lieutenant Marbury from the Navy to inspect his new airship as he is ready to present it to the US government. Later on, Marbury warns Tom of a potential scheme to destroy his inventions, both old and new. Tom Swift dismisses the concept, but he quickly learns otherwise when foreign spies with an unknown motive commandeer his new airship. In this tale, Tom resolves the problem of excessive weapon recoil by creating a massive airship for military usage. The story has a unique and thriller ending which should be read!

Autorenporträt

The Stratemeyer Syndicate is fascinating because of how many well-known series they created under several pen identities, such Victor Appleton. The most well-known series published under the Victor Appleton identity is Tom Swift, and like the other series ""authored"" by Victor Appleton, the plots for this one were created from outlines by ghostwriters. A second series was created because Tom Swift was so well-liked. The Syndicate determined in 1954 that the first series' Tom Swift had a teenage son who emulated his father's inventiveness. Compared to the first series, this second one has more space-related themes (which featured airships and other inventions appropriate to its time period). Victor Appleton II, the author's son who was created in the same way as Tom Swift was, was not a real-life person like the original pen name Victor Appleton.
