War & Quel

Beschreibung

A galactic hero’s work is never done. Apparently. When Cooper, The Ginge, Knuckles and Pete return home to Earth after taking down the galaxy’s biggest bad, they’re keen on some fame, fortune and respect. They get it (with some bonus love from the ladies), but what they don’t expect are the haters. Especially Earth’s most powerful leaders, who aren’t in the mood to be ordered around by a group of teenagers. Worse still, galactic war has been declared. And the boys soon discover that when you’re given your own spaceship, it comes with strings attached. And so begins a new mission: avoid getting captured or killed on Earth, fill a starship with humanity’s best and brightest, transform them into galactic badasses and lead them into battle. And if they can manage all that, there’s even worse to come – a new enemy who is smarter, more experienced, more organised and infinitely more deadly than what they’ve faced before. And that’s without her massive grudge against the planet’s newest fab four. As the boys are going to learn, in space they can definitely hear you scream. Catch all the action in book two of the award-winning Starship Dorsano Chronicles.

Autor

Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that's where the remarkable similarities between the two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world-renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it was here he first discovered his love of storytelling. In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to turn his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor. Matt donates part proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the youngest of his three children, Abby. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So not only is each book purchase a ticket to fantastically rounded, character-driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it also wraps you in a warm feeling of knowing you've made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech, it's a no-brainer.
