| Summary | "Tom Swift Circling the Globe; or, The Daring Cruise of the Air Monarch" by Victor Appleton is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story features the young inventor Tom Swift, who is drawn into a high-stakes wager that requires him to circle the globe in just twenty days using his latest invention, a versatile machine capable of land, air, and water travel. As he embarks on this daring journey, readers will be treated to thrilling escapades and the challenges he faces along the way. The opening of the book sets a tense scene where Tom's father, Barton Swift, places a substantial wager believing in his son's abilities as an inventor and traveler. After a heated bet with friends that Tom can complete a worldwide journey in twenty days, an explosion at their workshop adds urgency to the situation. Tom quickly comes to realize the implications of the wager and is determined to prove his father's faith in him.
