A fortune lies inside a shipwreck on the ocean floor, a revolutionary electric automobile promises record-breaking speed, and a wireless transmitter offers the only hope of escape from a collapsing island. In these three complete adventures, young inventor Tom Swift pushes the technology of his age to its limits while confronting ruthless rivals, natural disasters, and dangers no machine can entirely overcome.
In Tom Swift and His Submarine Boat, Tom and his father launch an experimental undersea vessel and set out to recover a treasure lost aboard a sunken ship. Competing salvagers are determined to reach the wreck first, turning the expedition into a dangerous contest beneath the waves. In Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout, Tom builds a remarkably fast battery-powered automobile and enters it in an endurance race, only to discover that rival drivers and determined saboteurs may prove more hazardous than the road itself.
In Tom Swift and His Wireless Message, an unexpected accident leaves Tom and his companions stranded on Earthquake Island, where every tremor threatens to send the land beneath the sea. With rescue uncertain, Tom must construct a wireless station from limited materials and transmit a call for help before time runs out. Combining submarine exploration, electric transportation, wireless communication, treasure hunting, racing, and disaster survival, The Tom Swift Omnibus #2 celebrates the excitement of an age when new inventions seemed capable of overcoming any obstacle.
