FROM JENNIFER WHITE: Rick Brant lives on Spindrift Island off the coast of New Jersey with his family.  Rick's father, Hartson Brant, heads the Spindrift Scientific Foundation, a research group based on Spindrift Island.  Rick lives with his father, his mother, his sister Barbara, known as Barby, and his best friend Scotty, Don Scott, who is considered part of the family.  Rick takes an active interest in Spindrift's projects and hopes to be a scientist someday.
    
The Spindrift scientists often travel to exotic locales and find themselves in grave danger from foreign enemies and acts of sabotage.  Ricky and Scotty become acquainted with Steve Ames of JANIG, which is the Joint Army-Navy Intelligence Group.  Rick and Scotty frequently find themselves privy to JANIG investigations and intrigue.

Rick and Scotty mature as the series progresses.  They act like teenage boys in the early books.  By the later books, Rick and Scotty have a more adult role and often travel by themselves.  They have more responsibility, and their encounters with villains are of a darker nature with more violence.

All of the books feature science in some capacity.  Often, the science is used to help the boys capture criminals or to help solve a problem.  In some books, science plays a minimal role, while in other books, science is described in great detail.  The use of science and technical language causes these books to be more sophisticated than other series books, but just as much fun.
