Tom Swift Among the Diamond Makers Illustrated

It is said that diamonds are a girl's best friend. Acting on this belief, Tom Swift is at a local jewelry store buying a diamond pin for Mary Nestor. When the store owner suddenly leaves the store chasing someone who may be planning a heist, Mr. Jenks from Earthquake Island enters the store and tells Tom not to buy a diamond there. He would get Tom a much better diamond that was manufactured at a place called Phantom Mountain. So begins the next Tom Swift adventure. In this book, Tom Swift among the Diamond Makers, Tom, along with Mr. Jenks, Mr. Damon, who is always around, and Mr. Parker, the "Debbie Downer" of scientists, goes off in the airship Red Cloud in search of Phantom Mountain and the diamond makers there. In the early Tom Swift books, Tom would be against some gang of criminals. In Earthquake Island, the adversary was Mother Nature. This time, both are present as dangers to the hero and his friends.
