TOM SWIFT AND HIS REPELATRON SKYWAY
BY VICTOR APPLETON II
No. 22 in the Tom Swift Jr. series.

From the front:
From the very moment that Tom Swift jr. agrees to help the government of Ngombia
build a highway to link the jungle-separated provinces of the new African nation -a task
that has stumped the best engineers in the United States-he is beset by mysterious
attacks aimed to defeat the project.
Construction of the road is urgent. At stake is the economic future of this friendly
country. But no conventional highway will do. For existing engineering methods can not
be used to bridge the seething, bubbling swamp in the rain forest.
Tom comes up with an amazing scientific solution to the problem-an aerial highway
over the jungle at tree-top level, supported only by invisible repelatron beams.
Deep in the jungle, fantastic-sized creatures-throw-backs to the dinosaur age-and
an eccentric scientist, missing for twenty years, add to the harassments besetting the
Swift work crews.
In a series of dangerous adventures, Tom must out-maneuver the sinister forces
working against him and the Ngombian government, win the trust of the hostile scientist,
and carry through the skyway to a successful conclusion.
