About the author

Also publishes as Stephen Cole.

Steve Cole is the slightly crazy, highly frantic, millions-selling, non-stop author of Astrosaurs, Cows In Action, Astrosaurs Academy, The Slime Squad, Z. Rex and many other books (including several original Doctor Who stories).

He used to edit magazines and books but prefers the job of a writer where you can wear pyjamas and eat chocolate all day.

Steve just can't stop writing - if he does, strange robots appear and jostle him vigorously until he starts again.

In his spare time he loves making music, reading old comics, thinking up ideas for new books and slumping in front of a warm TV.

Reviews

[Clare O'Beara · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first tale of the talking, space travelling dinosaurs whose forebears escaped Earth before the meteor struck. We follow the newly minted captain of a space ship tasked with bringing athletes to a dino Games. The herbivores on the ship are all for the spirit of friendly contest, but the carnivores want matters to go their way and are not above dirty tricks.
Plenty of illustrations and lots of complicated names. I only found one female character.

This is an unbiased review.

Kids today don't know how sick the astrosaurs are.
