Tom Swift Among the Diamond Makers

Tom Swift Among the Diamond Makers



The story opens with Tom shopping for a diamond brooch at a jewelry store in the city of Chester, 50 miles from Shopton. Barcoe Jenks, the nervous and eccentric financier introduced on Earthquake Island, shows up, having been followed by sinister and threatening members of The Diamond Makers. He enlists Tom's aid to travel to Colorado and determine the method of making artificial but perfect gemstones.  The secret of  this process was used as bait to defraud Jenks of a large sum of money by the bad guys.


Sinister plots are afoot. Our hero, is accompanied by Jenks, "de blessing man," Mr. Damon and Mr. Parker, the doom & gloom scientist from Earthquake Island. They set off for the Rockies in Tom's ever more luxurious dirigible/biplane airship, the Red Cloud,.


How they escape from captivity on Phantom Mountain, the clutches of The Diamond Makers, and the fury of Mother Nature, is something you will have to read the book to ascertain.
