Tom Swift And His Cosmotron Express - Plot & Excerpts
"Space sleuthing. Andy, Dad and I talked about a survey trip to the moon as soon as we heard the... rumors. But right now—" Emda interrupted with a nod. "Obviously, you’re in the middle of your latest project, your Cosmotron Express spacecraft and the trip to the outer planets. But two presidents agree that Enterprises will give its usual cooperation, now that the Viper Spirit has emerged as a threat." "Viper Spirit," Tom repeated. He said dryly, "It seems you’ve been well-briefed on the American role in developing the Fire Fury." "Would you expect otherwise?" asked Emda with a smile. "And now you’ve confirmed that you’ve talked the matter over with Mr. Langley, whom I gather is a subject of investigation. Yep, we know the hyperjet is based upon the designs developed under contract by Wickliffe Laboratories. But the engine!—where’d it come from? I would have known if Volj’s engineers had cracked that problem. I still have a few contacts." "As we told our government, it seems to be based on a high-thrust, high-temperature proposal from some years back," noted Damon Swift.
