This review is from: Tom Swift Among the Diamond Makers (CD-ROM)

The cream of the 'Tom Swift' crop, 'Diamond Makers' revolves around a concept fascinating even among today's technology. Many of the other books depend on then-jaw-dropping inventions to keep the interest going [such as TV cameras, zeppelin-like contraptions, and others]. But this one is a standout. It tells the story of a secret laboratory hidden in a mountain, and the criminals who attempt to harness the diamond-making apparatus for themselves. Quicker to culminate than most Tom Swifts, 'Diamond Makers' only picks up momentum until the final, shattering climax. Tom Swift is at his best in this one, and you won't want to miss out on the action!
