TOM SWIFT
IN THE CAVES OF NUCLEAR FIRE
By VICTOR APPLETON II
No. 8 in the Tom Swift Jr. series.


From the inside cover:
"Tom, that strange gas is fantastic-disintegrates everything it touches! What
do you think it is?"
Fascinated by the amazing report from a pilot who crash-landed in the
African jungle, Tom Swift Jr.'s eyes glow with curiosity as he replies: "Sounds like
anti-protons rampaging. Such a phenomenon is unknown on earth. This may be
the greatest discovery of the century. It could revolutionize the whole science of
atomic energy. Let's investigate that taboo mountain."
Although several of the young inventor's associates view his latest expedition
with skepticism, Tom sets off in the Flying Lab for the Dark Continent to fathom
the secret of the mysterious mountain. The deadly vapors which have terrified
the natives for generations challenge even the scientific genius of Tom and his
companions.
When their atomic drill inexplicably is sucked into a forbidding peak, a series
oг startling events threaten the Swift expedition. How Tom, with his new
invention the Terrasphere, conquers a heretofore unknown, violent quirk of
nature brings this breath-taking story to a spectacular finish.
