Microworld

Microworld was written and set for publication in 1984. Unfortunately Simon & Schuster cancelled the series before this book and the previous, Chaos On Earth, could be released.

Because of its unreleased status, many Tom Swift fans do not consider it "canon" material in any series.

The manuscript is, however, available for viewing at the New York Public Library.

As of July 2010 it appears that, Simon & Schuster, the current owners of the The Micro World, have authorized a limited print run by a third-part publisher as part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of the Tom Swift franchise, just as they had authorized a similar run for Chaos On Earth. And just like Chaos On Earth, The Micro World received a cover and layout similar in style to the rest of the series from the 1980's, but the book was taller and thinner than the 80's books.

Currently the status of Chaos On Earth and The Micro World in Tom Swift "canon" and Tom Swift (Wanderer) continuity, due to these possible-legally authorized editions, is not known.
