In this hardbound edition, Tom Swift faces two parts of an old comet that have started heading toward Earth. The news media attempts to stir up a really big panic about it all, not very many astronomers are certain that it isn't just a tempest in a teacup.Until the day it turns out to be much more than that.While governments dither and scientists endlessly debate, and while religious zealots want people to just give up and pacifists fight with those who say that a nuclear deterrent is what's called for, Tom and his team at Swift Enterprises leap into action.But, if blasting the problem apart isn't a viable solution, what can possibly be?Given the relatively brief amount of time available to take action, is there really something that Tom can do?To make matters worse for Tom, his head of Security has been kidnapped and is nowhere on Earth to be found. But Harlan Ames isn't just sitting as a prisoner--although that is exactly what he is--and their paths are destined to cross again.

The 3rd book in the Saga: The Emperor Shangri-La died trying to attack the Earth in book 1; the Empress-his twin sister-died trying to attack Tom Swift in book 2. Now, it seems the very Moon on which they built their Shangri-La colony of slaves is on the brink of being attacked by the ground under their feet. Harlan Ames, former Swift Enterprises Chief of Security has been the Administrator of the now free colony but is getting anxious to take his twin children back to Earth. Their safety may depend on it; their mother was the much hated Empress! But, something bad is happening inside the Moon. He hopes his old boss can figure things out before it is too late. In the meantime, he leaves his children in the care of Lola "Grandma" Reyes at the lunar colony while he heads out to see if there is anything to discover at the former "Master's" ruined fortress in the Philippines. It is a race against time to see if clues can be found to help avoid a catastrophe.
