Produktbeschreibung

Tom Swift and His Aerial Warship, or, The Naval Terror of the Seas, is Volume 18 in the original Tom Swift novel series published by Grosset & Dunlap. The story was written in 1915, and World War I, known as The Great War, was already in progress. As the story opens, Tom is explaining his newest invention to his friend, Ned Newton. Just as Tom is in the middle of explaining the problems he is having, a fire erupts in one of the sheds, where explosives are stored. After the fire has been put out, careful investigation shows that the fire was set deliberately. In preparation for presenting his new airship to the United States Government, Tom has invited a Lieutenant Marbury, from the Navy, to review his ship. Marbury informs Tom of a possible plot against Tom and his inventions, past and present. Tom scoffs at the idea, but soon finds out otherwise, as his new airship is hijacked by foreign spies with an unknown agenda.

Autorenporträt

Victor Appleton was a pen name used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing organization that created popular children's book series in the early 20th century. The name was primarily associated with the Tom Swift series, which was published from 1910 to 1941 and became iconic for its portrayal of a young, inventive protagonist. The Tom Swift series followed the adventures of Tom, a resourceful and daring young inventor, who used his innovative creations to tackle challenges, often involving cutting-edge technology and thrilling escapades. In addition to the Tom Swift books, Victor Appleton was also used for several other series, including the Motion Picture Chums (1913-1916), Moving Picture Boys (1913-1922), and Movie Boys (1926-1927), which catered to the growing popularity of the film industry. These series focused on the adventures of young characters involved in the world of cinema, blending the excitement of early movie-making with the classic adventure format. While the Tom Swift books are the most well-known, the Victor Appleton name played a significant role in shaping early 20th-century children's literature, providing young readers with tales of adventure, innovation, and heroism.
