Tom Swift III
Tom Swift III is the unofficial name of this series of juvenile science fiction adventure novels, the third to feature a protagonist named Tom Swift. Unlike the previous series, it was not published by the Grosset & Dunlap, but was published by Wanderer Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, who would, at the tail-end of the series buy-out and obtained the rights of the Stratemeyer Syndicate's series. However, all gave the author as Victor Appleton, as with the previous series. This series is primarily set in outer space, with various missions to solar system locales. This series was released in paperback format, although one hardback edition was released of the first 9 volumes. Books in the series:
