The Story

Tom Swift is a young inventor who builds a machine that can project anything—pictures, sounds—into thin air. It’s like a movie screen you don’t need a screen for. He calls it the “Telegraphone,” and it sends pictures flying across a room. Then he does the genius move: he makes the pictures talk. As in, real voice synchronized with moving lips. But someone named Mr. Simpson gets jealous and tries to mess everything up. There are break-ins, some thugs with fists made of brass, and a race to see if Tom’s talkie picture will actually leap off the page and change the world—

Before Tom can show off his greatest invention at the big exhibit, he has to fight off crooks, protect his lab, and even fly his own airplane to get things over mountains. He gets help from his buddies and a Girl Detective named Mary who actually has some smart ideas. The story slams along with hidden belts, trips to the city, scrap metal or the start of something huge?

But what I didn't expect were the big, interesting questions this old adventure series snuck in. Like, how does an invention threaten the powerful? What if the future was already thought of years ago? Rare fun reading the way paper talk existed long before project was even invented.

Plus, Tom himself is this fresh supergeek with something between reckless and clever with a capital R. He doesn't just sit back building things—he plows in despite the wreck he's leaving behind missing parts or short circuits.
