Volume 6 of Grosset & Dunlap’s original Tom Swift book series, also known as The Castaways of Earthquake Island, is titled Tom Swift and His Wireless Message.When Tom Swift and his companions decide to test out an experimental blimp off the shore of New Jersey, hurricane winds unexpectedly sweep them out to sea. The unfortunate crew must simply let the storm carry them wherever it will because they are unable to maneuver or navigate without ripping the airship apart. Tom, unfortunately, crashes down on the deserted and decaying Earthquake Island after the storm proves to be too much for the ship.Tom has created a wireless receiver in this instance so that he may send and receive messages. Tom takes his airship, the Red Cloud, on a journey with his buddies, including the eccentric Mr. Damon. Due to the regular little earthquakes on Earthquake Island, they get trapped in a hurricane and crash there.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: The Stratemeyer Syndicate is fascinating because of how many well-known series they created under several pen identities, such Victor Appleton. The most well-known series published under the Victor Appleton identity is Tom Swift, and like the other series ""authored"" by Victor Appleton, the plots for this one were created from outlines by ghostwriters. A second series was created because Tom Swift was so well-liked. The Syndicate determined in 1954 that the first series' Tom Swift had a teenage son who emulated his father's inventiveness. Compared to the first series, this second one has more space-related themes (which featured airships and other inventions appropriate to its time period). Victor Appleton II, the author's son who was created in the same way as Tom Swift was, was not a real-life person like the original pen name Victor Appleton.
