Something Huge

In a world teetering on the brink of ecological collapse, a grizzled former spy, Barnaby Jones, is called out of retirement for one last mission. He must team up with a brilliant but eccentric scientist, Penelope Pinecone, and a motley crew of unlikely allies to stop a shadowy corporation from unleashing a catastrophic environmental weapon. Their quest takes them from the bustling streets of Neo-Veridia to the treacherous glaciers of the Arctic, facing betrayal and improbable odds at every turn.
