Summary: "Tom Swift and His Giant Telescope" by Victor Appleton is a juvenile science fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the young inventor Tom Swift, who is eager to build a powerful telescope using a newly discovered substance, which he believes will allow him to explore life on other planets. Alongside his friend Ned Newton and their giant servant Koku, Tom embarks on a series of imaginative adventures where he encounters various challenges, including a mysterious accident and sabotage attempts, as he works towards achieving his remarkable invention. At the start of the story, Tom Swift is introduced as he shares his excitement about a new invention—a telescope using a mysterious green disk that can become invisible. His friend Ned expresses skepticism about Tom's ambitious goals of observing life on Mars, but the excitement builds as they navigate through Tom's laboratory. The narrative quickly escalates as they discover an intruder attempting to steal the invaluable disk, leading to suspicions of foul play related to Tom's groundbreaking inventions. This opening portion sets the stage for both the scientific ambition of the characters and the thrilling adventures that follow, full of intrigue and innovation.
