Tom Swift Jr. Is the central character in a series of 33 science fiction adventure novels for male adolescents, following in the tradition of the earlier Tom Swift ("Senior") novels. The series was titled The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures. Unlike the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys titles that were also products of the prolific Stratemeyer Syndicate, the original Tom Swift stories were not rewritten in the 1950s to modernize them. It was decided that the protagonist of the new series would be the son of the earlier Tom Swift and his wife, Mary Nestor Swift; the original hero continued as a series regular, as did his pal Ned Newton. The covers were created by illustrator J. Graham Kaye. Covers in the later half of the series were mostly by Charles Brey. A total of 33 volumes were eventually published. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

Blue tweed boards, blue lettering (minor shelfwear, rubbing, occasional wear to corners), w/ d.j.'s cover art by Kaye (occasional chipping to spines, minor creasing, edgewear), still a VG/VG bright uniform set. First editions, early printings of Nos. 1-10 in the New Tom Swift, Jr. science fiction series, listing to most frequently to No. 13 Solartron on versos of half-title, whereas most ads on back covers, list up to No. 12, with Cycloplane listing uniformly to itself, and first three only listing up to 5 titles. Harriet Adams re-launched the Tom Swift concept in 1954, based on the original series co-written by her father Edward Stratemeyer, and Howard Garis. Although she was heavily involved in rewriting the Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys titles removing some of the more offensive racial overtones of the original printings, they launched an entirely new science fiction series, drawing on three PhD scientific consultants, sparking the imaginations and efforts of Steve Wozniak of Apple Computer, Jack Cover who invented the Taser, and resonating with Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov.
