Tom Swift Omnibus #4 - A Positronic Book
Other Available Formats
Overview
An electric rifle of astonishing power, a legendary underground city filled with gold, and a revolutionary glider built to cross the frozen wilderness carry Tom Swift into three of his most dangerous adventures. From the African interior to the ruins of an ancient civilization and the remote Arctic, Tom must contend with hostile rivals, treacherous terrain, and the unpredictable consequences of his own inventions.
In Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle, Tom travels to Africa to test a weapon that fires concentrated bolts of electricity. What begins as an expedition into elephant country becomes a desperate rescue mission when friends are discovered in captivity. In Tom Swift in the City of Gold, Tom follows clues to a hidden city beneath the mountains of Mexico, where ancient treasures, underground passages, and competing fortune hunters turn the search into a deadly contest.
In Tom Swift and His Air Glider, Tom joins an expedition seeking a vast deposit of platinum in a frozen and nearly inaccessible region. His newly developed glider offers the travelers their best hope of reaching the treasure-and escaping with their lives. Combining speculative technology, lost-world mystery, aerial adventure, and perilous exploration, Tom Swift Omnibus #4 captures the extravagant imagination and restless faith in invention that made the original series a landmark of juvenile science fiction. Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle was first published in 1911.
