This is the ninth novel in the New TOM SWIFT Invention Adventures. Construction of a new colony on the Moon has gone to another company for political and perhaps less honorable reasons. The issue? Rather than being flexible and robust agains space debris, it is solid and brittle. This becomes evident when it takes a skipping impact from space and one of the habitat modules is shattered. Lives are lost.
Tom wants to do something for the remaining colonists and builds a small, inflatable and very durable habitat to fit exactly in the destroyed space. When he takes it to the lunar surface he is attacked by a mystery ship but one that announced themselves a wanting to stop the installation.
Politicians in Washington D.C. order Enterprises to cease meddling with the lunar structures. But To wants to do more and to prove the value of his inflatables. He sets his sights higher. Farther, in fact... on Mars.
Efforts to build the largest inflatable structure ever mean the help of hundreds and even taking over a couple of runways inside Enterprises walls, but it is completed and readied to go into space. Fearing sabotage or attack, a dummy is sent up and does get destroyed. The real habitat makes it to Mars and the massive amount of work to erect and populate it with the necessary equipment to make it self-sustainable required even more people.
Surprises await the young inventor as Tom strives to build and run the near impossible!
