Product Description:

ROBOTS + TERRORISTS = TROUBLE FOR TOM

Tom's been training his entry, SwiftBot, for the upcoming Robot Olympics -- a major event being sponsored by the White House's Office of Science and Technology. Teenage inventors from around the country will be bringing their homemade robots to compete in a series of athletic competitions.

But no such luck. Someone is playing dirty . . . and things are going to get dangerous.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Tom Swift + re-invention = GREAT!
This is a great book in the newly re-invented Tom Swift series.

Another great nod to the original Tom Sift and Tom Swift Jr series is ... Read More
