Black Dragon — Victor Appleton

SUPER HIGH TECH...SUPER HIGH SPEED...SUPER HIGH STAKES!

He's daring, he's resourceful, he's cool under fire. He's Tom Swift, the brilliant young inventor racing toward the cutting edge of high-tech adventure. But Tom's latest toy -- a high-flying, gravity-defying, superconductive skyboard -- has fallen into the wrong hands. It has landed in the lair of the Black Dragon.

The Dragon, also known as Xavier Mace, is an elusive evil genius who means to turn Tom's toy into a weapon of world conquest! Swift will have to summon all his skill and cunning to thwart the madman. But the Black Dragon has devised a seemingly impenetrable defense system: he appears only as a laser-zapping hologram!
