The fifth series to feature the Tom Swift character was published by Aladdin from 2006 to 2007.

Like its counterparts, a big part of the reboot was that titles were now written in first-person narration.
The series was cancelled in late 2007, while its counterparts were rebooted into trilogies. A seventh title, Extraterrestrial Highway, was planned for publication in February 2008; however, it ultimately remained unpublished. There are ISBN's registered for volumes 8-11 in this series, but the titles and status of the manuscripts are unknown.
