Last chance to buy these books. Listing coming down this weekend.

This listing is for a set of 3, first edition books in the Rick Brant Electronic Adventure series, published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1947, 1948, & 1950. The books are perfect for collectors, homeschooling, and story time.

Rick Brant is the central character in a series of adventure and mystery novels by John Blaine, a pseudonym for author Harold L. Goodwin . The Rick Brant series was taglined “Science-Adventure Stories". In the series, Rick Brant lives on Spindrift Island off the coast of New Jersey, where his father heads the Spindrift Foundation, a group of scientists. Rick is involved in various adventures at home and abroad.

The author, Hal Goodwin, was a popular science writer with a strong technical background and a sense of style unusual in the juvenile adventure-series field. The books are suspenseful, well-plotted, atmospheric, and enriched by humor and acute characterization as well as personal experience.

Included is the rare, first book in the series “The Rocket’s Shadow” - A Rick Brant Electronic Adventure. In The Rocket's Shadow (1947) Rick meets Scotty and investigates sabotage of Spindrift's experimental rocket.

Also included are these 2 books:

The Whispering Box Mystery (1948) Rick and Scotty race against time to stop a ring of spies from using a paralyzing weapon to steal government secrets

Smugglers' Reef (1950) Rick and Scotty use an infrared camera to gather evidence against smugglers.

The vintage books are in quite good condition for their age. Covers are solid with some wear seen on edges. Smugglers’ Reef front cover top right corner has a few pinholes. The Rocket’s Shadow back cover has an area where the decorative finish is worn off. Interior pages are tight with some yellowing/foxing. See photos.
