After hiding a newly discovered and exceptionally radioactive element in Itch, Itch has around-the-clock government protection--which comes in handy when multiple groups attempt to kidnap him and force him to reveal the valuable rocks' location. Improbable plot points and a rushed ending won't stop the first book's fans from enjoying the breathless action as Itch and villainous Dr. Flowerdew square off again.
