It is 2015.  America is fighting two long and boring wars, its troops spread thin across the world.  Terrorists have bombed several city blocks in lower Manhattan.  The environment is kaput.  Everybody hates the government.  Worse, Americans have officially run out of gas. This would all have been a terrible bother for car fanatic Imogen Parks, if it hadn't been for Planet Nagy.  Thrown through a wormhole onto another planet by a freak terrorist attack, Imogen discovers a world with illimitable energy sources, superb space ships designed by Alien Squids, and - best of all - Talking Animals who need her help.
