`How can I, Iago Johnson, a) know anything about the fate of the universe and, b) be in any kind of position to change it..? I am not a superhero, I’m not a genius. I’m not even very good at science… `
Forced to take action, the A.R.C.T.I.C. 6 embark on their first mission!
The intended kidnap victim: not Iago’s father but his uncle, Jonas, a scientist involved with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN – the European Centre for Nuclear Research in Switzerland, where he has been testing Big-Bang theory.
An Old Nemesis: Katherina Kreng has used the LHC to create matter-annihilating particles – the Killer Strangelets – which could gobble up the planet!
The Solution: an emergency shutdown device hidden somewhere inside the long LHC tunnel, deep beneath the Swiss mountains.
The Problem: Only Jonas knows where it is, and he can’t get to it!
