"Tom Swift and His Great Oil Gusher, or The Treasure of Goby Farm" by Victor Appleton is a novel written in the early 20th century. This book is part of the popular Tom Swift series that follows the adventures of a young inventor, Tom Swift, as he embarks on exciting engineering feats. In this installment, the narrative centers around Tom and his friends as they deal with the challenges surrounding oil drilling while also confronting a sinister adversary. At the start of the story, Tom and his loyal friend Ned Newton are introduced during a light-hearted conversation about flying, which quickly shifts to tension as they witness a nearby airplane in distress. Their heroic efforts lead them to save the airplane's pilot, setting off a series of events that involve oil drilling and potential danger from unscrupulous business characters. Tom is depicted as a resourceful and courageous young man, equally interested in invention and adventure, while also becoming entangled in business challenges and personal encounters with unsavory figures. As he and his friends navigate these complexities, it becomes clear that the stakes are high, and the excitement of both invention and action promises a thrilling read.
