Archway continuity

The Archway Continuity is the third Tom Swift continuity. In this continuity Swift Enterprises is located in Central Hills, California, where it has been for, approximately, 4-5 years when the series opens in The Black Dragon. This continuity also has a Mirror Universe that is radically different to what occurs in the rest of the series. (See The Negative Zone)

Along with having a Mirror Universe, this continuity also splits into two alternate realities in Time Bomb, with one of the realities ending in that book. Books 10-13 and The Alien Factor take place in the remaining reality.

While there are references to different books from the Tom Swift Sr. and Jr. continuity, there are errors with these references that make most fans conclude that this series is in a different universe.

Most fans designate this series as Tom Swift IV since the official designation of the series is simply Tom Swift, a title that was used for two previous series.
