About the Book

Way back when Tom Swift invented his Jetmarine submarine, he also came up with a combination escape and deep water exploration suit. Golden and egg-shaped it was soon dubbed the "Fat Man" suit. Entry was through a forward-facing round hatch/viewport that only allowed the occupant to see what was right in front of him or her. With the Model B, Tom reworked the configuration and made the suit more adaptable to a civilian user. This was all done with an eye toward selling the suits. And, sell they did, ultimately numbering over 3,900 before production was shut down. Like the original the suit provided a single operator a comfortable seat, propulsion to scoot around in great depths, and a pair of retractable arms and legs letting the user walk on the floor of the ocean and grab onto things. Unlike the original, Model B was capable of remaining underwater for more than a day and had an escape system in case of a crisis. This is the user's guide (or Owner's Manual if you will) for the suit as it was being finalized. The artwork was eventually replaced with photographs and the whole thing printed in full color. Sadly, none of the original art still exists today, and so this reproduction of that nearly-complete manual is all that is possible to produce. Enjoy going through the guide and imagining yourself sitting inside one of these golden beauties.
About the Author: Thomas Hudson has been writing Tom Swift novels for about five years. He has studied the young inventor for more than fifty years. As he was writing under a pen name about some of Tom's not-so-famous inventions he wondered if there was more of a story about the golden egg. A short story later ("I and the Egg"-found in the collection Tom Swift's Pocket Book of Inventions) he was left with additional questions. How did the darn thing work? What was it like inside? Did Tom ever update the thing? Was his sister Sandy as hot as she seemed? He lives but refuses to work. He writes as the mood hits him, and he is pretty bruised from taking all those hits. He is married to a patient woman-going on 32 years!!... the woman must be a saint!-and is owned by a dog named Jake. Those of you who know will recognize the absolute truth in that statement.
