Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - An electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute over a properly ballasted roadbed might not be an impossibility, said Mr. Barton Swift ruminatively. It is one of those things that are coming, and he flashed his son, Tom Swift, a knowing smile. It had been a topic of conversation between them before the visitor from the West had been seated before the library fire and had sampled one of the elder Swift's good cigars. It is not only a future possibility, said the latter gentleman, shrugging his shoulders. As far as the Hendrickton and Pas Alos Railroad Company goes, a two mile a minute gait - not alone on a level track but through the Pas Alos Range - is an immediate necessity. It's got to be done now, or our stock will be selling on the curb for about two cents a share.The many author-for-hire people who have authored some of the many Tom Swift series of stories are known as Victor Appleton II. Appleton has been meticulously developing an totally new series over the past five years, with intentions to continue for at least five more, in collaboration with the other author named in this listing. He has been known to write short stories and novellas starring Tom and many of the other characters and inventions from the books when he is not writing Tom Swift adventures. The majority of these books are available on Amazon.com and CreateSpace.com. When he wasn't writing, he was known to catch some much-needed rest.
