In this 8th in the new Tom Swift Invention Series, Tom Swift finds himself involved in a galactic mystery. Something very much like a black hole has been discovered a dozen light years away, but nobody can say for certain what it really is... or if it will affect the Earth. The thing about black holes is they suck in light so they can't really be seen.Tom wants to go investigate. Even his quickest unmanned rockets can't carry enough fuel for such a trip. So a shortcut seems to be the only chance. His knowledge tells him that wormholes are more than a science fiction hypothesis, but how the heck can he go about locating one? Even if he finds one, how can he determine where it might exit? When an old video surfaces showing proof to and open and willing mind that wormholes exist and can be opened for brief periods, he also finds it takes the power of a nuclear bomb to do so. If he overcomes all issues, he and Bud may be on a one way trip. They encounter the anomaly-and it's a doozy-but they also find themselves face-to- uhhh, hands? Giant ghostly hands beckon them, but what can it all mean? With little air and no fuel, what can Tom do?NOTE: Although this book shares a common title with one of the Tom Swift Jr. books published in late 1971, it IS NOT that book. Nor is it that story.

This volume contains all four of the BI stories and completes the life saga of BI. As a teenage, Bobby Ingliss is a girl with a problem. Well, not so much a problem as a difference. A BIG difference. She has begun making a journal of her early teenage life, but self-edits a lot of it out, leaving us with questions, but an insight into this special girl. But, she is about to set out to find the one person who might be able to shed some light on things. The problem? The woman was her mother who abandoned her in the hospital just hours after giving birth. And, she is a homeless drifter who uses many aliases. But, Bobbi believes that she hold the truth, and Bobbi needs that truth. Once she finds her mother, she is left with nothing but questions and a little resolve. Spring forward a decade and Bobbi now tries to help other teens with gender confusion issues. But, now she is having a personal identity crisis. She leaves her work and life behind on a new journey. This time, it is to find Bobbi. The most recent part of the book takes us through some of her experiences in her 30s, 40s, and 50s, and come from the memories of someone who knew her the best and loved her deeply in spite of her differences. Some of her most interesting patients and experiences open a new world of understanding into just who BI is. _________________________ This book deals with issues surrounding disambiguation, hermaphrodism, gender assignment surgery and both same gender as well as cross gender love and sex.

This fifth novel in the Tom Swift Invention Series starts with a near tragedy. But, not one to let setbacks stop him, Tom Swift accepts a contract to help complete an important NOAA weather station in Florida that has lost its primary contractor. While investigating the site he and his best friend Bud are nearly killed in an explosion. Or, was it an attack? He sets about creating a safety and security system but encounters a mysterious submarine out in the Gulf of Mexico. It turns out that an old enemy is up to their old tricks and are willing to do anything to stop-or kill-Tom. He knows the old saying about how you can't do anything about the weather, but has never believed it. And so Tom works to invent a method for breaking up hurricanes before they can do any damage. But the typical mix of sabotage, strange circumstances and even being waylaid on a deserted island can't stop our hero. But, about that weather thing...

Before he became known to the world as Tom Swift, Jr., a much younger Tommy Swift wanted to invent something that would change the world. His target? Something to help win the war in Europe. Little did he or even his famous inventor father, Tom, Sr., realize that his first major invention would prove to be a game changer. But the young inventor could not know how vital his work turned out to be because nobody trusted an eight-year-old to keep the secret. Even after the war he was not told right away, and so he set out to make something that would work, something that proved to save the spirit of Christmas in Shopton for a few of the little children, but mostly for his younger sister. This book contains the stories of his first four inventions along with a short story about how Tom foiled Sandy's prying eyes and sticky fingers!

A blend of Epic, Prose and Rhyme, my poems are a result of a journey, a road I travelled. So many things have influenced these writings, relationships good and bad, world issues, my spirituality and in general the things I see around me. My words are the reflections of my thoughts and the manifestation of my joy or pain. Here I was willing to share "me "with you, I hope you will allow each verse to become your own, to become your voice, to speak of your jubilance and shed your tears. I pray the words are of inspiration to all that read, I hope you laugh, cry and reflect as I have, may the world and your role in it be clear and may you love pure."

Within each Tom Swift novel there are a couple major characters who you get to know, and a lot of secondary characters who walk in, say a few lines, and walk out. You never get the chance to know who they are other that in that context I have set about writing back stories for these people. The novels may not have the 9,000 - 15,000 words to devote to giving you a good background story about them, but these collections do. This second book contains stories about the first major invention from a young Tom Swift Jr., an adventure of his cousin as he tries to locate a giant and cursed diamond in Afghanistan, one of Enterprises' top test pilots tells about what he knows and how he has managed to survive so many crash landings, the story about the day Bud Barclay came back to Enterprises after having worked as a civilian astronaut-and not because of happy reasons-, and finally a bonus story about young Tom Swift and how he helped save the Christmas spirit for his little sister.

In this hardbound edition, Tom Swift faces two parts of an old comet that have started heading toward Earth. The news media attempts to stir up a really big panic about it all, not very many astronomers are certain that it isn't just a tempest in a teacup.Until the day it turns out to be much more than that.While governments dither and scientists endlessly debate, and while religious zealots want people to just give up and pacifists fight with those who say that a nuclear deterrent is what's called for, Tom and his team at Swift Enterprises leap into action.But, if blasting the problem apart isn't a viable solution, what can possibly be?Given the relatively brief amount of time available to take action, is there really something that Tom can do?To make matters worse for Tom, his head of Security has been kidnapped and is nowhere on Earth to be found. But Harlan Ames isn't just sitting as a prisoner--although that is exactly what he is--and their paths are destined to cross again.

Following his first adventure, "Harlan Ames: Man On The Moon" the former Security man for Swift Enterprises takes on a self-proclaimed mission to go down to Earth from his life on the Moon to search for the woman he once fell for and who has disappeared.With in is his trusty girl Friday-Kelly Greene-who he has been thinking of as more than just a sidekick or assistant. Together they dig into the underworld and subcultures of the former Los Angles area that had been hit by an exploding spaceship, which Harlan might have had a little to do with!Dueling waterjet gangs and a young girl are encountered an the action is just about non-stop. Truly, it is enough to make a man who is older than a hundred-and-fifty years a little tired and cranky!

In this hardbound second installment of the Lunar Trilogy (Tom Swift and the Space Battering Ram was part 1) an environmental disaster hits California at the same time the lunar colony-now free of the tyranny of the Masters-is facing a crisis of their own, and it seems a single solution needs to be found for both. At the same time, Harlan Ames ventures to Tibet in search of answers about the Empress and where she might have crashed her evacuation spacecraft. What he finds will turn his world on end and nearly ruin the now-free colony on the Moon. With his own troubles, Tom must find a way to mine water from a passing comet and bring it to the Moon and down to the Earth safely and quickly before people start to die. As it is, people are leaving the state as if it is becoming a new dustbowl. The inhabitants of the lunar colony don't have that luxury. Will Harlan's search and Tom's projects succeed? Or, with they intersect with disastrous consequences?
