Summary | "Tom Swift and His Air Glider; Or, Seeking the Platinum Treasure" by Victor Appleton is a juvenile adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the young inventor Tom Swift, as he embarks on an exciting journey involving engineering challenges, the discovery of a valuable resource, and the rescue of a friend in peril. At the start of the story, Tom Swift and his friend Ned Newton prepare to test a newly revamped airship, which Tom has upgraded to enhance its speed and performance. However, during the test flight, a breakdown leads them to encounter Mr. Ivan Petrofsky, a Russian exile who possesses valuable platinum material and seeks to rescue his brother from a Siberian prison. This chance meeting sets off a thrilling plot where Tom decides to build a unique air glider capable of soaring through Siberia’s harsh winds, ultimately aiming to find both the lost platinum mine and rescue Mr. Petrofsky’s brother from the clutches of authorities. The opening chapters establish the inventive spirit of Tom and the high-stake adventure to come, engaging readers with a blend of engineering and action.
