Tom Swift and the Starless Planet - Thomas Hudson - Bog

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!
