Book description
As Tyranno prepares to unleash his alien armies on Earth, only one
person stands in his way - YOU! Your quest is to save the planet by
defeating Tyranno. But the evil Starlord is strong and powerful. It will
take all your skill and strength to free the universe from the grip of
Tyranno. All you need to do is make the right choices... 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.
