"Tom Swift and His Airline Express, or From Ocean to Ocean by Daylight" by Victor Appleton is a children’s adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Tom Swift, a young inventor who exhibits keen ingenuity and resourcefulness. Throughout his journey, Tom faces various challenges, including a mysterious stranger and the threat of sabotage against his father's plant, which deepens the intrigue and excitement of the narrative. At the start of the book, Tom Swift reflects on the successes of the Swift Construction Company, but his thoughts are interrupted by a suspicious figure lurking near the plant. As he investigates, he falls into a trap laid by enemies seeking to undermine his inventions. Captured and held in a secret underground lair, Tom glimpses their sinister plans, which include orchestrating the destruction of his father's business. Determined to escape and thwart their plans, he discovers a way out but sustains injuries in the process. Through a series of close calls and clever maneuvers, the opening chapters set the stage for an action-packed saga filled with danger and invention. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
