Synopsis
Jonathan Conrad is just a young man trying to make it as a scientist in his home of London. But No one would have ever imagined that he would be the first human being to join an intergalactic agency called the Federation. Jonathan is recruited for a mission by four crime-fighting penguins: Zidgel, Midgel, Fidgel, and Kevin. Their mission is to save the universe from quite possibly a fate worse than death. But as the first human ally of the Federation, most people wonder where Jonathan's loyalties lie. Will Jonathan somehow prove his doubters wrong and win the trust of his new partners? And will it be enough to defeat a dangerous threat?
