TOM SWIFT ON THE PHANTOM SATELLITE
By VICTOR APPLETON II
No. 9 in the Tom Swift Jr. series.

From the inside cover:
Consternation and panic grip the world as a strange new moon shoots
earthward. Millions of people are relieved when the weird, glowing runaway
moon in the sky finally goes into orbit 50,000 miles from earth.
Tom Swift Jr., who has developed a machine which will produce artificial
earth-type gravity in the airless void of space, makes plans to explore this new
satellite. In the gigantic, atomic spaceship Titan, Tom and his associates land on
the mysterious moonlet and claim the bleak but fabulously rich possession for the
United States.
While exploring ihe satellite to pinpoint the best location for setting up the
young inventor's atmosphere-making machine, Swift expedition scouts discover a
spaceship belonging to a hostile nation. Claiming first right to the moon because
of prior landing, the foreign scientists try every means to annihilate Tom and his
group.
How Tom succeeds in proving the Brungarian claim invalid, and saves his
associates from being set adrift in outer space, will keep the reader spellbound to
the very last page of this spine-tingling adventure.
