The US Government is very smartly letting Tom Swift Jr. handle the recovery of its probe to Jupiter. But a mystery missile suddenly intercepts the probe and splashes it in the South Atlantic.
Faced with a huge search task to find the probe on the ocean bottom, Tom soon realizes that the same shadowy group that attacked the probe is competing to find it, and no holds are barred: kidnap, coercion, and lethal force are all in play.
Under such circumstances, what can Tom do? What he does every time, of course! He invents some utterly cool device to get the job done! And his Electronic Hydrolung is just the beginning! (3 hr 44 min)

These are such light and fun reading; I enjoy them immensely. Tom is helping the government again, this time to retrieve a rocket. Only his enemies are trying to beat him to it! Time for another Swift invention: the electric hydrolung. Mark Smith is a great reader, his recordings are always excellent. Thanks Mark!
superb

awesome book and great narration, I just wish that there were more books by this author there are well over 100 books between Victor Appleton and Victor Appleton II (Victor Appleton II however is actually various different authors) Here's the wiki link to the Tom Swift Jr page: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift,_Jr. The link to the main wiki entry for all of Tom Swift: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift Lastly the link to all of the Tom Swift books written including both public domain and non PD books: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift (yes this review is from my phone and the link's are .m. for ease the of those on tablets and phone's) Better than half of the series aren't in the public domain. However books #1-#25, and #39 of the original series are in PD, and a few others of the "Tom Swift Jr." series are also works in the PD. A quick look shows that Project Gutenburg has a total of 35 books written by Victor Appleton there may be a few more though.
This one is for children - maybe

The narrator does a marvellous job, as usual. The story is weak, full of 1950s or 1960s cliches. The hero is a boy inventor who develops and builds new technology overnight. They try to find a missile at the ocean floor that contains information important enough to trigger several attempts on their lives, but the hero and his sidekick take time out for hikes or barn dances, to keep the girls happy. The girls are just giggling and forbid their boys to talk about work so the nice mood is not disturbed. Just light entertainment, I guess, too light for me. This may be written for children, but children would facepalm regularly. I give this three stars because of the excellent narration. The story would be one star.
Fun story

the first series was amazing. Based entirely in science and real world politics. this one is rediculous. the "science" is straight out of Buck Rogers and the enemy country completely fabricated
