Sommaire:
Paul McKenzie is just your average college student. Well, not quite average, given that he's a genius. Scholarships and everything, as someone puts it. But despite that, he's not the smartest person in the room. That's his professor, a prolific billionaire polymath who, when he needs more money, creates another 'must-have' gadget to sell. Like his latest invention, antigravity! Still, his professor might be the smartest man on the planet, but that doesn't stop him from being an egotistical bully, so when he asks Paul to be his lab assistant, it's not the enriching experience Paul hopes for. Intimidated and terrorized turns Paul's thoughts dark and he plots ways to kill the Prof. and steal a few gadget ideas to pass off as his own. Like the antigravity devices that the Prof. is developing in secret. That all changes when the Prof. is abducted, and it turns out that he expects Paul to rescue him. The Prof. has even given him a high-tech teddy bear to help! With no idea what he is doing, Paul is caught up in a situation he barely understands and swept along as events spiral out of control. But Paul's genius was not some random fluke. His parents are whiplash smart, and it turns out his father works for some shadowy government agency, so he knows a thing or two about bad guys...and how to deal with them. Still, Paul fears that even their combined firepower won't hold against such vicious foes and with the clock ticking, they race to find the Prof. and rescue him before tragedy strikes....
