A mighty task faces Tom Swift in completing his exciting
new project--colonization of the moon. To accomplish his historic goal, Tom
must first perfect his latest invention, the space solartron, a matter-making
machine essential to human survival in the bleak conditions beyond our
atmosphere. The challenges are many and daunting, and the young inventor must
fight for every step of progress against the danger and mysterious happenings
that plague him. A wily foe threatens the family of a lifelong friend, and
secret connivers make outrageous claims against Swift Enterprises. Just as
success seems assured at last, Tom suffers the most devastating blow of all
when his father vanishes into the dark void of space, leading Tom and his pal
Bud Barclay on a frantic quest across one hundred million miles to the borders
of another world!
