Book description
Your quest is to defeat Tyranno. But he is sending Arktos, evil ruler
of Iceworld, to attack Earth. Use your DART suit to travel across space
to destroy Arktos and his alien forces. Capture his Staff of Power and
use it to upgrade your DART suit. But will YOU make the right choices to
get that far? You are the hero of this book. Only you can decide your
own destiny... "As soon as one I Hero book reappears in the
library it is snapped up within the hour." Steve Skidmore writes
with Steve Barlow. Together they are Britain's most popular comedy
writing and performing double act for young people. Not surprisingly,
they are known as The 2 Steves! The 2 Steves met over twenty years ago
when they were both teaching in Nottingham. Since then they have written
over 160 books together. They have also acted as series editors on
numerous reading programmes for several major publishing houses. The 2
Steves are in great demand for author visits to schools, colleges and
libraries across the world. They also undertake INSET events and make
regular appearances at Literary Festivals. Steve Skidmore is shorter
than Steve Barlow and less hairy. He was born in Birstall near Leicester
in England. After managing to pass some exams at school, he went on to
Nottingham University to supposedly read English, but spent most of his
time playing sport and doing a variety of summer jobs including counting
pastry pie lids (yes, really). He trained as a teacher of Drama, English
and Film studies, before teaming up with Steve Barlow to become a full
time author. He lives in Leicester and is a great rugby fan (he supports
Leicester Tigers - "Come on you Tiiiiigeeeers!"). As 50% of
the Two Steves, Steve Barlow has written over 160 books with Steve
Skidmore since their first published work appeared in 1988. Born in
Crewe, he was educated at Crewe Grammar School, Warwick University and
Nottingham University before a varied career in teaching, acting, stage
management and puppetry. He worked in a village school in Botswana for
four years before returning to the UK and working with Steve Skidmore.
The Two Steves tour extensively in the UK and overseas, and are frequent
visitors to book festivals including Edinburgh and Hay. Their work for
Hachette includes the highly popular I Hero and Crime Team
choose-your-adventure books, and their I Horror series is raising the
short hairs at the back of readers' necks with Orchard Books.
