13-year old Jesse Baxter, along with his sisters, 12-year old Ororo and 11-year old Journey, has had an amazing, action-filled life. Ever since the Baxters were toddlers, they've traversed the globe, helping their humanitarian activist parents take down genocidal warlords, arms dealers, wildlife traffickers, and a host of other insidious bad guys. But when they suddenly become targets of the most dangerous man alive, psychotic mad scientist and hi-tech arms dealer Aladdin Salazar, they may have finally met their match. When the Baxter's eccentric, brilliant scientist uncle, 'Mad Doc' Xander, reveals to the world he has created a so-called 'immortality vaccine' that can cure cancer, heart disease, and every other disease known to man, all the citizens of the globe are understandably ecstatic. Millions of sick and dying people consider Doctor Xander's vaccine to be their salvation. But it also attracts the attention of Aladdin Salazar, who has been busy weaponizing the scum of the Earth with hi-tech weapons of mass destruction. Xander, who used to be close friends with Aladdin, is afraid his old protégé wants to weaponize the vaccine and transform it into an incurable virus that could decimate the human race. After all, Aladdin has been ranting in recent years about how the world's population is exploding out of control, gobbling up the Earth's precious dwindling natural resources. Xander hatches an ingenious scheme to save his family and thwart Aladdin's reign of terror. As with most things in life, however, things are not quite as they appear. Doctor Xander's attempted liberation of his family causes a devastating chain of events that threaten the entire planet. Will Xander and his family be able to stop Aladdin and his sinister forces from unleashing wholescale death and destruction upon the Earth? You'll have to read on to find out!
