Book fourteen in the New TOM SWIFT Invention Adventures.
Swift Enterprises wins a U.S. Navy contract to do the impossible. While modern ships are as stealthy as can be, at least to RADAR, they can still be spotted visually. Now, the Navy wants them to be invisible to the human eye as well!
While Tom works on a solution--one that requires the reuse of an earlier invention--the first cars from the new Swift Motorcar Company are rolling off the line. He decides to test various possibilities of his system on a brand new car.
But when the car is stolen in broad daylight, and it looks as if terrorists have stolen it, he must double his efforts to now devise a way to see the invisible.
The situation becomes more dire when the car is used to infiltrate a military installation where a bomb is planted that destroys a building belonging to NATO.
Can Tom manage to complete the contract while working to overcome the very thing he is attempting to invent? And, will success mean his actual invention is doomed to be a failure?
