About the Author
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.

Aidan Brocklebank's space ghost review
This book is cool,exciting and scary.I couldn't believe that other dinosaurs got on the planet.I wondered how a kentosorus was solid in the space lab and then it disappeared. Great book. I wondered all the way through the book about the strange noise under the toilet. I think it fits great as an adventure and Teeg's likes eating a lot. Lots of people should buy it.
Aidan, age 7

The scariest Astrosaurs yet
I read this to my son (10) in bed at night using our wind up torch (there's no light switch near his upper bunk bed). I have to admit it is a bit scarier than the rest of the series (up to book 8) but it is still a superb fun dinosaur sci-fi space romp for the over 5s. The only problem with this series (aimed squarely at pre-teen boys) is that Steve Cole can't write them quick enough. In this book Teggs and the DSS Sauropod crew fly to the mining Planet Creepus to investigate claims by the diplodoccus miners working there that they are being haunted. Highly recommended.

The Way all Kids Books Should Be Written!
I have 2 boys, 9 and 7, and I cannot praise Steve Cole's books enough. 'Space Ghosts' is just the next in the excellent 'Astrosaurs' series. My eldest son, not the biggest fan of fiction, has read all the books up to and beyond Space Ghosts. I have read the majority of the books to my youngest son who is the biggest fan in the house but he is also able to read the books, he can now read all the dinosaur names! The books give the boys the confidence to try some quite difficult words and pronounceations. The greatest feat Steve Cole has achieved is his ability to maintain the boys and my interest in what happens next. Proper Swashbuckling stuff.
If you have kids, buy these books, you won't regret it.
