Rating: Summary: Tom Swift goes to Atlantis Review: I have this book. I got it at the same time I got Tom Swift In The Jungle of the Mayas. It begins with two Swift Enterprises cargo planes are over the Atlantic when one of them mysteriously crashes into the Atlantic. Tom Swift, Jr.'s security chief radios him telling him that there's a saboteur aboard. The crew of the downed plane is rescued. However, the plane carrying Tom's latest invention, the Spectromarine Selector, is lost. Back home, Tom discovers the real identity of the fake Navy commander who sabotaged the plane carrying his lost invention, rebuilds it, and is about to mount another mission when he's forced off the road by people in a black sedan. He then mounts another expedition to Atlantis and discovers a missing submarine with tools marked with the letter "V." Thinking that the Brungarians have made it to Atlantis ahead of them, they finally realize at the end of the expedition that the sub and its crew were American and that the tools were a keepsake of the captain. To find out what happens between the beginning and what I wrote here, read the book.
Rating: Summary: Tom Swift discovers Atlantis Review: Sorry, National Enquirer. This is a work of fiction. I read this book at the same time as Tom Swift and His Electronic Retroscope. The title was changed for the paperback edition which is what I have. The hardcover's Tom Swift and His Spectromarine Selector. For those who've never read it, and are wondering what it's about, what's written above sums it up. Tom Swift and his friends have a naval commander on board their plane, the Sky Queen, when a Swift cargo jet carrying Tom's latest invention, the Spectromarine Selector, mysteriously crashes. The commander, Tom finds out through a phone call from his chief of security, Harlan Ames, is an imposter. The real commander had never left Washington. Tom and Bud go to Fearing Island, his spaceport and research facility. They take one of his jet- marines and discover a sunken submarine. They think it's an enemy sub when they discover tools stamped with a "V" for Varada Steelworks. A company taken over by the new government of Brungaria. Tom's father calls his friends in Washington and the truth comes out that it was an American submarine that had gone down and the captain had used Varada tools and they were a souvenir from the time he'd first entered the Navy. Tom's driven off the road by someone in a black car because he's in a race with the Brungarians to see who'll control Atlantis. Another expedition is mounted. Longneck Ebber, the accomplice of the first saboteur, stows away and tries to him but he fails. Tom Swift wins another battle in the Cold War and claims Atlantis for the United States
