Tom Swift and His Giant Cannon, or, The Longest Shots on Record, is Volume 16 in the original Tom Swift novel series published by Grosset & Dunlap.

The story opens with a discussion between Barton Swift and an old friend, Alec Peterson. Alec is trying to convince Mr. Swift to finance an expedition to locate a hidden opal mine, but Mr. Swift is reluctant. In the middle of the conversation, Tom is flying one of his airships, but gets tangled up in power lines. Mr. Peterson cuts the wires, saving Tom's life. Tom is so grateful to Mr. Peterson that Tom is willing to finance the expedition himself.

In the meanwhile, the story segues to Tom's next invention, a cannon bigger than any that has been built to date. Tom hopes to sell his invention to the United States government, for use in protecting the Panama Canal, which was still under active construction at the time of the story.

The cannon Tom invents is the largest gun to date. Measuring 100 feet in length, it has a 30-inch caliber, and Tom estimates he can launch a 2 ton projectile 30 miles.

This book is great!
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for a friend and it didn’t disappoint. It’s such a fun book! I’m definitely going to be borrowing it from her to make some of the recipes. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes don’t look overly complicated.

A Book I Wish I Had Back Then
Format: Paperback
This is EXACTLY the sort of book I wish I had available to me when I was ready to leave home. I was filled with all sorts of braggadocio and I knew everything I needed to get out the door..............and then was introduced to the 'school of hard knocks' From discovering how to budget and manage your money, to learning how to cook and eat healthy food, to figuring out how to start a career, this book has something to teach even the most well rounded youngster. These aren't in-depth discussions about every aspect of how to live your life, but these ARE a great starting point and with the knowledge provided here, and a little bit of common sense, you can survive early adulthood and move towards a more fulfilling life. Life is a series of learned events, usually set it motion through observing the people we respect, but not everyone can be everywhere at once and this book can and does fill in a bit of this and a bit of that, often inspiring a conversation that will provide more opportunities to share life lessons and avoid some of the bumps and bruises life has to offer. As a grandparent watching his oldest grandsons get ready to leave the nest, I found this book to be a helpful way to share my experiences in a way that goes well beyond "because I said so" and reaches into the 'how' and the 'why', even explaining the reasoning, all without seeming to meddle in their affairs. Unlike childhood where you can stomp your feet, declare 'that's not fair' and receive an immediate 'do-over', real life doesn't offer that and it's best to be prepared for what life is going to bring you. This book does that.
