Who Wrote tom swift and his quantum telesphere?

Answer 1

The Tom Swift Jr. series of juvenile novels, officially "The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures," ran from 1954 into the early seventies. The inventor-hero came up with a wide variety of science-fiction devices, including a device called a terrasphere , essentially a ground-bound diving bell lowered by a crane on a tank-like vehicle to explore what were called the Caves of Nuclear Fire, but this was a terrasphere ("earth sphere") not a quantum sphere. The device was within the capabilities of sixties technology.

"Tom Swift and His Quantum Telesphere" is not part of this published series, but is an unpublished original novel in a series suggested by the now out-of-print series, which began to appear in 2006. The invention is a teleportation machine. The story can be read at www.tomswiftlives.com. Authorship is attributed to the traditional pseudonym "Victor Appleton II," and no other name is indicated.

Answer 2

There were two main series of science-fiction novels featuring the character Tom Swift, who is , as far as is known wholly fictional. Much was made of the Father- And -Son-Team- Look at this- FAST- Father and Son Team- Swift is a synonym for Fast, right? well anyhow Swift enterprises (inm various shapes and forms- the old ( Dad"s day) tales took place mainly in Upstate New York- in the fictional town of Shopton, the modern ones retained Shopton, but hinted it was in California as weather never played any role int he plot- and something suggested a Californian climate. Okay there were two ( later more) distinct serials- spanning from l9ll-4l ( the original Toms) to the modern ones (Tom Swift , Jr) which ran from l952-early seventies. all were credited to the same author Victor Appleton ( sr. or jr) which is chronologically impossible. oddly the novels which espoused the one-man show type of Inventor- were themselves the product of a (Think Tank) so to speak. I figured this out as a kid- as there were wide divergences in plot and styling. by the way most Television dramas are done this way, with a coterie of script writers- for example Star Trek, also Science Fiction. the Hardy Boys used the same M.O. ) the real Franklin W. Dixon was a wartime governor of Alabama- certainly not a mystery writer for teens. There you have it. The Statemeyer syndicate was largely responsible.
