Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
At the sprawling Swift Enterprises nuclear research station in the New Mexico desert, Tom Swift works to perfect a 10-foot robot strongman capable of functioning in place of humans while exposed to deadly heat and fierce radiation. The project is jeopardized by the inexplicable appearance of menacing apparitions -- bizarre "ghost crows" which seem able to strike at will and vanish like phantoms into thin air. The phenomenon is linked to the strange mystery of a sacred American Indian site in the desert. While scouting the mesa, Tom's sister and friends Bud and Bashalli suffer a helicopter crash and find themselves marooned and helpless. How Tom rescues his friends and, with the help of a colorful gangster, uncovers a high-tech plot against him, makes for a startling and suspenseful tale of super-science and hidden danger.
