Nathaniel is a young man of many talents, he can speak to animals, and he has incredibly sharp senses and the skills of many jungle creatures. But between him and the jewel stands guard the burning-eyed and inhumanly strong Bavarian; and on his trail are the Parloks, horrific Beasts prepared to tear him to shreds in their quest for the Eye. With the help of Genevieve, a distractingly beautiful Morningstar agent with a mysterious past and an assortment of ingenious gadgets, Nathaniel must overcome all obstacles and complete his mission.
