Plot

General Lunaris launches the Moonlander invasion of Earth, with the majority of his forces attacking Duckburg. While Della flees with the kids under the pretence of collecting allies from around the globe, Scrooge assembles a motley crew to try and retake the city. When Scrooge's best-laid plans prove fruitless, the Ducks must rely on close and distant family, friends dear or not-so-loyal… and on some former foes.

References

General Lunaris's ultimate aim is to use a humongous machine to make the Earth revolve around the Moon rather than the other way around.
The triplets are eleven years old.
