| Summary | "Tom Swift and The Visitor from Planet X" by Victor Appleton II is a children's science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows the intrepid young inventor Tom Swift Jr. as he prepares for the arrival of a mysterious entity from another planet while dealing with a series of devastating earthquakes and lurking enemies intent on capturing this unknown energy source. Readers encounter exciting scientific concepts and thrilling adventures as Tom applies his ingenuity to navigate the conflicts and challenges that arise. At the start of the novel, Tom Swift is introduced already in the midst of chaos when an earthquake devastates the Faber Electronics plant, where he and his friend Bud are helping troubleshoot a device. After narrowly escaping danger, Tom learns of a looming extraterrestrial event that could be monumental for Earth. Meanwhile, the threat of the Brungarian rebels emerges, leading Tom to develop inventions to counter both the earthquakes and the potential dangers posed by the energy entity, dubbed "Exman." As the plot unfolds, Tom's intelligence and quick thinking are put to the test, foreshadowing a race against time to protect Earth from catastrophe while also striving to communicate with the alien visitor.
