Tom Swift and His Flying Lab
(1954)(The first book in the Tom Swift Jr series)
A novel by Victor Appleton II (House Name) (William Dougherty)
When a strange, meteorlike object from outer space crashes into Tom Swift's advanced scientific installation, Swift Enterprises, the intrepid young inventor is plunged into an astonishing adventure. The object proves to be a message-bearing missile from scientists of another world who are seeking contact with our earth. But as Tom struggles to decipher their message, he is called to assist the South American nation of Montaguaya, a government besieged by ruthless rebels and secret traitors seeking control of the country's uranium wealth by violent means. Tom's amazing Flying Lab the Sky Queen, a solar-powered multi-mach skyship capable of vertical flight and hovering in midair, is the key to victory. But can Tom and his pal Bud Barclay prevail - or will the dream end in a fiery power dive into the Andes?
