Since 1954 over 50 more Tom Swift novels have been published in five different series, all of which star a hero named Tom Swift, who may or may not be the same person as the original character. In some cases he is the same character, albeit, after a continuity reboot, while in others he is only a relative of the original character. For example in The New Adventures Tom Swift Jr. Adventures, Jr. series, the title character is the son of the first Tom Swift, while in the Tom Swift (1991-1993) series, the title character is again the son of a Thomas Swift but the continuity has been rebooted, with new characters, new background, etc. In 1992 it was revealed that fellow Stratemeyer Syndicate characters, The Hardy Boys were in the same fictional world as Tom Swift, when he teamed up with brother detectives Frank and Joe in A Hardy Boys and Tom Swift Ultra Thriller: Time Bomb. The Hardy/Swift series was a crossover of The Hardy Boys Casefiles series and the Tom Swift (1991-1993) series. The series only lasted two volumes, and after the publication of The Alien Factor, in 1993, was canceled.
