Tom Swift novels feature his major inventions, some books even delving into great details about them. But, his lesser inventions? They get the old, "He grabbed one of his fribbles and raced after the bad guys!" Fribble? This series of four collections attempts to put the story behind the 'Fribbles' in Tom Swift books. Of course, it usually is a vital device for him, but space and word count requirements usually meant such details had to be left out. Now you have the third set of seven of Tom's inventions available, everything from the origin of his L'il Idiot computers to the creation of a sort of Frankenstein typewriter to headlights that can see through dust storms, and more. To add to the fun, one of the main stories is a tale about Tom's father and the invention he used to save the Swifts from financial ruin when young Tom was just a toddler. This collection features a bonus, very short story at the end of the book.

T. Edward Fox is the author of nearly two dozen short and novella-length stories dealing with both the individual characters in the world of Tom Swift as well as over two-dozen tales of the famous young inventor's inventions. In early 2014 he completed his 14th Tom Swift novel and has 3 more coming in the next year or so. He is, like a lot of authors of series like Tom Swift, is a pseudonym. Unlike a lot of series, he is a he and is a single person. Well, he is married, but is just one person. See? Mr. Fox was co-author of an enormously popular computer book back in the late 1990s-which is nowhere close to being a best-selling author along the lines of a Clarke, Asimov or that ilk. He has the identical name of a famous computer expert and has been photographed, quoted, interviewed for national television, and provided a glass of wine, all by mistake. And you should have seen the newsperson's face when she discovered she'd just spent 30-minutes with the wrong guy!
