Plot summary[]

Tom Swift & friends journey to the Arctic in his custom airship to seek for the legendary Valley of Gold. When his map is stolen by his longtime nemesis, Andy Foger, who has himself built a competing airship, the race is on across frigid Alaska to see who will be the first to find the limitless fortune.

Inventions & innovation[]

Another story where no major invention is produced by Tom. He did create a special new lifting gas for his airship, needed to overcome the atmospheric problems they may encounter in the Arctic North. As a side-invention, Tom has been working on a new electric rifle, but it is not properly introduced in this story.
