An atomic-powered car that travels on land, water, and through the air -- Tom Swift Jr.'s latest invention -- is an extraordinary achievement. But even its young inventor could not anticipate what a dramatic role the Triphibian Atomicar would play in a technical aid mission which takes Tom and his top-flight engineers to the untamed Asian land of Kabulistan, to help the new republic develop its natural resources. Time and again Tom must pit his skill and courage against fierce, nomadic tribesmen. But this is not a one-sided conflict between the ancient and the modern. Beneath the façade of thunderous hoofbeats, spears, and scimitars is a scientific mastermind bent on destroying the members of the Swift expedition in order to conceal from the Kabulistan government his discovery of a fabulous ruby mine lost for two centuries. After a series of danger-packed episodes, Tom and his pal Bud Barclay are caught in a seemingly inextricable, underground trap. How Tom builds a "do-it-yourself" rocket in a cavern laboratory and sends it homing for aid is a brilliant stroke of ingenuity. The young scientist-inventor's daring exploits in the primitive Middle East country of Kabulistan will keep the reader breathless with suspense until the last page of this gripping story.

In book 28 of this new series, Tom Swift finds out that a wandering planet is coming into the solar system, and while it will not hit or even come close to the Earth, its trajectory will take it around the Sun and into a near miss (or possible collision) with the super giant, Jupiter many months later.That could cause untold damage to Earth if enough of that planet breaks off and heads inward.Without a lot of solid evidence as to what it will really do, but a very short time period in which to do something, Tom decides on a bold move to get this new planet, named Wanderer (for obvious reasons!) into another path that will not impact any part of the solar system before it leaves in about a year.He runs afoul of an old nemesis who holds a personal grudge more than a decade old plus an unscrupulous woman who seems out to avenge an old rivalry between Damon Swift and her mentor. The biggest problem is that her interference could spell disaster for the entire population!Time is not on Tom's side as he struggles to get his solution to the forthcoming disaster in place. Even before he knows if he has been successful, Tom makes a startling discovery!
