Jules, a nice boy living a quiet life without any particular problems (except his little brother set on murdering his guinea pig), is selected by the Global Space Agency to take part in the first expedition to planet Alpha aboard an interstellar spaceship. The journey will last 8 weeks for the passengers, and 8 months in Earth-time (because of relativity)... Thus Jules embarks upon the voyage of a lifetime, stowaway guinea pig in tow, accompanied by the other members of this glorious team of space explorers: a couple of eccentrics who collect Nobel prizes; a rather tetchy roommate; a drunken pilot who seems to mess up the landings every time and endangers interplanetary peace; and a pretty exobiologist who will study any extraterrestrial life they come across. Get ready for takeoff!

A brand new Jules adventure all about human cloning. There's also a a mad scientist who just wants to be loved, and extraterrestrials who want to grow peppers in Scotland. Nothing too abnormal.

Who in the world wants to go to Venice? Side-stepping what is surely going to be another traumatizing family vacation, Jules takes off with his girlfriend, his guinea pig, his annoying brother, and a couple of friends on what they think will be a fun, cave-exploring adventure... only to find themselves trapped deep beneath the Earth's surface with no food or water, and a bat-eating mad scientist. Adventure indeed...!
