Tom Swift: a cult classic boys adventure series!

Written in 1910, Tom Swift novels are one of the first serial adventure stories written for boys. A trail blazer for other novel series like Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Tom Swift, young inventor,  has inspired generations of boys to dream big. Some of Tom fantastical inventions, radio “phones”, cameras, and even rocket ships were imagined and invented before their existence. His science reflecting the burgeoning change of an industrial society transitioning into a technical era. His advances are almost quaint in comparison to how we live now, but they represent the creative thinking that has brought us to the machine age we live in now. Inspiring young boys to become writers, scientist and inventors of things like TASERs “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle”.

And of course there is adventure. Evil doers lurking around small town America, using Tom’s technology for their wicked schemes. But smart and resourceful, plus good with his fist, Tom always uncovers the Villains, saves the day, and usually adds a machine to his collection.

At Sump Pump Sound Studios, we’re updating these classic novels. Part audio book and part play, we hope to bring the first novel, Tom Swift And His Motor-Cycle, to you soon!
