Synopsis

Book 16 in this new series sees the young inventor presented with a problem that may or may not happen in a locale so far away it could be meaningless.Or, it could turn deadly!Haley's Comet is swinging back in for its next appearance, only this time it will pass very close to a newly identified planet far outside the orbit of Pluto. Eris is larger than Pluto and even possesses a small moon. So, with the possibility that Eris could influence Haley's trajectory, and if it goes one way it will come too close to the Earth on its pass in a few years, Tom must find a way to get out that far, and fairly quickly.His solution. Simple. Harness a black hole, ride it out past the edge of the solar system and see what happens.Only themission becomes much more diffecult when Haley's smashes into Eris and the planet begins to break up.Now, there will be far more potential deadly pieces of the former planet to deal with unless Tom and his crew can find a way to rebuild it.

About this title

About the Author

As has been explained, nearly ad nauseum, Victor Appleton, both the original and is "son" Victor II, never really existed. They were house pen names for authors for hire to write stories for one-time fees and no royalties. But new a new approach is being taken. Thomas Hudson is an author of some 40-plus books, many of them in the world and realm of Tom Swift. He lives and writes in a small hamlet in the Pacific Northwest where he constantly ducks rain and snow, fights evil moss in his grass and on his roof, and pressure washes his driveway at least once a year so the cars don;t slip down and into the street during a light breeze.
