Tom Swift Circling the Globe; Or, The Daring Cruise of the Air Monarch

In 1927, a father makes a bold claim about his son over dinner, and then an explosion at the workshop turns a boast into a matter of survival. Tom Swift, the teenage prodigy inventor, must now prove his father's faith in him by circling the globe in just twenty days, piloting his latest creation: a revolutionary machine that can travel by land, sea, and air. What begins as a desperate wager becomes an audacious adventure across continents, as Tom outmaneuvers rivals, weathers storms, and pushes his invention to its limits. With loyal companion Koku at his side and Mary Nestor waiting at home, Tom must not only win the race but prove that brilliant young minds can change the world. Victor Appleton delivers breathless pulp adventure that captures an era when flying was still miraculous and inventors were heroes.
