Tom Swift Plot Teaser Generator
A while ago I released an online utility that can automatically generate Tom Swift titles. This time I’ve gone further, and created something that can generate the plot blurbs one usually finds on dustjacket flaps. For example, this was generated entirely at random:
TOM SWIFT AND HIS ECHELON COMPOUND
by Victor Appleton IIA solution to a problem faced by the Swift Construction Company – to design a cheap alloy for use in nuclear energy – is Tom Swift Jr.’s new goal. But the success of the young inventor’s project is threatened by the crafty Count Ali Saqqaf, a renegade Arabic scientist. Banished from his native land because of his countless crimes against humanity, Saqqaf is now the leader of a vicious mob intent on blowing up nuclear laboratories.
From the moment the young scientist-adventurer starts work on his echelon compound, danger and mysterious happenings plague almost every step of his progress. A band of savage rebels, an out-of-control fire, and a river in Tajikistan that is highly radioactive are only a few of the hazards that he faces during his latest adventure. Tom must overcome ruthless adversaries and immense mechanical challenges, and the odds have never been greater.
How Tom faces this challenge makes exciting reading for all Tom Swift Jr. fans.
