内容介绍：

汤姆-斯威夫特带着他特别设计的电动赛车原型车参加了即将到来的比赛。但在比赛前几天，当他做最后的准备和调整时，他发现了一个阴谋，这个阴谋不仅会让他的家庭破产，也会让所有依赖当地银行的人破产（银行是一个邪恶的银行经营计划的目标）。汤姆必须解开谜团，阻止阴谋背后的罪犯，然后他将与美国最好的电动车和技术精湛的车手进行500英里的比赛，以检验自己的实力。听众请注意，汤姆-斯威夫特书中包含的一些元素和人物以一种非常过时的方式描绘了某些种族群体，现代读者和听众可能会觉得反感。尽管书中有种族刻板的行为和发音，但《读者》认为，为了忠实于作者的意图，阅读书中的内容是有意义的。

Tom Swift enters an upcoming race with his specially-designed prototype electric race car. But as he makes the final preparations and adjustments, days before the race, he discovers a plot that would bankrupt not only his family, but also everyone else that relies on the local bank (which is the target of a nefarious bank-run scheme). Tom must solve the mystery and stop the criminals behind the plot before he’ll test himself on a 500 mile race against some of the best electric cars and skilled drivers in the United States. Listeners are forewarned that some elements and characters included in Tom Swift books portray certain ethnic groups in a very dated manner that modern readers, and listeners, may find offensive. Despite the racially stereotyped behavior and pronunciation in the books, the Reader believes it makes sense to read what’s written in order to be faithful to the author’s intent.
