*****
A spacecraft from a faraway planet approaches the Red Centre of Australia. It hovers above the ground and Junior is beamed down. His mission is to recharge an IGMOC, a communication device hidden in a big rock in the middle of the desert.
Forgetting to do one simple thing, the task turns out to be almost impossible for the short-tempered alien. Now he must rely on a small spiky reptile to achieve his goal. Junior finds everything is weird in this part of Australia – weird animals, weird places, weird happenings.
With a long distance to travel and a short timeframe, can Junior get to The Rock, recharge the IGMOC and reconnect with his spacecraft?
The future of the entire universe depends on him.
