BY VICTOR APPLETON II
No. 5 in the Tom Swift Jr. series.

From the inside cover:
Furious Antarctic storms and ruthless enemies stalk Tom Swift Jr. and his
latest atomic invention, the earth blaster, in book number five of this thrilling
science -adventure series.
When Tom chooses the South Pole as the spot to hunt for molten iron with
his earth blaster, his closest friends raise their eyebrows. Even Chow Winkler,
the expedition's genial Texan cook, says, "Brand my thermopile, if the young
inventor ain't plumb loco!"
First Tom has to convince the skeptics about the value of his earth blaster.
Preliminary tests prove that it is one of the greatest inventions the world has ever
known.
When spies of the Kranjovian government learn about the project, it becomes
a race to see who will reach the South Pole first. Tom risks his life and all the
funds of Swift Enterprises to launch the expedition. With his pal Bud Barclay,
Chow, and a group of top-flight technicians, he braves the white fury of the
Antarctic ice barriers to set up operations. But the Kranjovians seem to have
beaten him to it!
In the nerve-racking and chill-packed days that follow, the young inventor is
faced with one of the greatest challenges in his career. The outcome hangs in
the balance down to the last page of this dynamic story. Read it to see how Tom
Swift Jr. startles the world when his atomic earth blaster starts the most
phenomenal gusher known to man!
