In the year 2096 Earth is sent an invitation by Wisebeardyface, head of the MilkyFed, that will change the course of its history. Earthling and loser Tommy Storm, aged 11¼, with a very bad haircut, is chosen for a secret mission, for all the wrong reasons. Travelling in the ‘BigLongThingy III’ spaceship and wearing the NUTS (Nations Undertaking Travel into Space) space outfit, he’s convinced he will fail. Yet could it be that Tommy, with his newly spiked and trendy hair, is the only hope for the earth and the universe itself?
