About the author
Franklin W. Dixon
764 books997 followersFranklin W. Dixon is the pen name used by a variety of different authors who were part of a team that wrote The Hardy Boys novels for the Stratemeyer Syndicate (now owned by Simon & Schuster). Dixon was also the writer attributed for the Ted Scott Flying Stories series, published by Grosset & Dunlap.
Canadian author Leslie McFarlane is believed to have written the first sixteen Hardy Boys books, but worked to a detailed plot and character outline for each story. The outlines are believed to have originated with Edward Stratemeyer, with later books outlined by his daughters Edna C. Squier and Harriet Stratemeyer Adams. Edward and Harriet also edited all books in the series through the mid-1960s. Other writers of the original books include MacFarlane's wife Amy, John Button, Andrew E. Svenson, and Adams herself; most of the outlines were done by Adams and Svenson. A number of other writers and editors were recruited to revise the outlines and update the texts in line with a more modern sensibility, starting in the late 1950s.
The principal author for the Ted Scott books was John W. Duffield.

The last Hardy Boys book I swore to read before I finish devouring the pages of the Baudelaire's series of unfortunate events. ANYHOW, I wanted to break my vow and planned to read another Hardy Boys Casefile. HAHAHA. DAMN. I'M GETTING PSYCHED. But, yeah, maybe I'm keeping my promise!

I have now finished the book and I have found the book to be quite engaging to the reader, It keeps you thinking on who really are the bad guys and what are they going to do next. The book is also quite descriptive about the settings and the characters and gives just the right amount of detail that makes the book interesting. I enjoyed reading the book and I would recommend this book to those who like mystery and adventure themes.

洞窟の奥にあるのは一体なにか？土地をめぐる陰謀。場所のせいか、とてもドキドキした。最近は、土地がどこもかしこも開発されてしまい、この種類の冒険はしたくても出来なくなったと思う。
