Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tom Swift and His Motor-Boat; Or, The Rivals of Lake Carlopa" by Victor Appleton is an adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Tom Swift, a clever young inventor, as he navigates various challenges associated with acquiring a motor-boat and the ensuing escapades that arise from it. As Tom explores the world of boating, he encounters rivals, engages in a spirited auction, and uncovers sinister plots involving villains from his past. At the start of the novel, Tom Swift is excitedly preparing to attend an auction for a motor-boat, previously stolen by a gang of thieves associated with his father's invention. He is determined to bid on the boat, alongside his skeptical father, who worries about the cost and potential danger. Tom finds himself confronting a rival, Andy Foger, who wants the boat for himself. The opening chapters set the stage for a lively auction scene while also introducing the hints of rivalry and possible sabotage surrounding the characters. As the story unfolds, Tom’s ingenuity will likely come to the forefront as he deals with challenges posed by both machinery and rival relationships.
