Where out of this world is Agent Kangaroo now?

On the way to his next secret mission, a high-speed kinetic projectile destroys Kangaroo's transport, leaving him adrift in deep space—until a helpful passerby rescues his escape pod. Given the vastness of the cosmos, it's a remarkable coincidence.

Millions of kilometers away in Earth orbit, thermal regulation is failing and the Intelligence Division of Kangaroo's spy agency has gone into lockdown. The mysterious malfunction puts not only life support but also an unruly eight-year-old boy in jeopardy. Now the Eyrie has to deal with Joey's escalating shenanigans and the possibility of saboteurs aboard what should be one of the Solar System's most secure facilities.

Could these two emergencies be connected? Who would possess the resources to engineer such a thing? Of course, Intelligence Division has plenty of enemies.

And so does Kangaroo...

This new adventure continues expanding the universe that started with a bang in WAYPOINT KANGAROO and KANGAROO TOO, and picks up immediately after the electrifying events of TRUE BLUE KANGAROO.
