Astrosaurs 10: The Star Pirates

Description

A hilarious new episode in the fantastic hit series, Astrosaurs. Captain Teggs is no ordinary dinosaur - he's an astrosaur! On the incredible spaceship DSS Sauropod, along with his faithful crew, Gypsy, Arx and Iggy, Teggs rights wrongs, fights evil and eats a lot of grass! When several spaceships carrying valuable cargos go missing in the same part of space, the astrosaurs investigate - and when some of the treasures turn up on a carnivore world, it seems that meat-eaters are involved. Determined to find out what's happening, Teggs and his crew swap their amazing ship the Sauropod for an old banger that's a much softer target - and soon find themselves under attack from star pirates! These space-faring bandits are the scourge of the stars and are looting any ships they can find for the bounty. But what secret goal are the pirates working towards? Will Teggs find out before he is made to walk the plank, and his loyal crew end up as pieces of 'ate'...?

Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them. Later on he started writing them too, with titles ranging from pre-school poetry to Young Adult thrillers (with more TV and film tie-ins than he cares to admit to along the way). In other careers he has been the editor of Noddy magazine, the voice of a Dalek and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers.
