HTML: Tom Swift and His Wireless Message is the sixth book in the original Tom Swift series. "Every boy possesses some form of inventive genius. Tom Swift is a bright, ingenious boy and his inventions and adventures make the most interesting kind of reading." "These spirited tales convey in a realistic way, the wonderful advances in land and sea locomotion and other successful inventions. Stories like these are impressed upon the memory and their reading is productive only of good." This series of adventure novels starring the genius boy inventor Tom Swift falls into the genre of "invention fiction" or "Edisonade". .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Anyway, back to Tom Swift. The kid is an inventor par excellence. In this story, he helps out another inventor build an air ship, which crashes on a desert island. Tom saves the day by turning some of the "electrical apparatus" salvaged from the crashed airship into a wireless radio. It reminded me of my youth when I was a radio ham...well, the part about sending out messages in Morse code.
So, I'm guessing most Tom Swift books are pretty similar. Tom does something clever and inventive and saves people from disaster.
The books, like the Hardy Boys (I've not read any of the other Stratemeyer series) are simple, fast paced and somewhat incongruous. Great writing you won't get. But if you like action and don't mind a heavy dollop of implausibility, you could do worse than Tom Swift (or the Hardy Boys for that matter). I mean, what's not to like about young boys with gadgets (or motorcycles and motorboats)?
