Product Description

Product Description
Captain Teggs is no ordinary dinosaur - he's an astrosaur! On the incredible spaceship DSS Sauropod, along with his faithful crew, Gypsy, Arx and Iggy, Teggs rights wrongs, fights evil and eats a lot of grass! When several spaceships carrying valuable cargos go missing in the same part of space, the astrosaurs investigate - and when some of the treasures turn up on a carnivore world, it seems that meat-eaters are involved. Determined to find out what's happening, Teggs and his crew swap their amazing ship the Sauropod for an old banger that's a much softer target - and soon find themselves under attack from star pirates! These space-faring bandits are the scourge of the stars and are looting any ships they can find for the bounty. But what secret goal are the pirates working towards? Will Teggs find out before he is made to walk the plank, and his loyal crew end up as pieces of 'ate' ...?

5.0 out of 5 stars Seventh book in the excellent Astrosaurs series for preteen boys, 15 Nov 2006
By Keith Joseph (West Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
My son (10) isn't very good at reading, so I read these Astrosaurs books to him at bedtime. He has really enjoyed them and so we have bought all of the series (8 books at present with more to come in 2007) to encourage him to like books as much as his Playstation 2, TV and DVD's. Most books we have are shared with his 12 year old sister, so he appreciated a good book aimed at young boys. I would say these books are his most treasured, and he really looks forward to reading a chapter or two each night - my daughter (12) has shown no interest - she's probably too old and a girl. The sci-fi stories are quite good (we are Dr Who, New Captain Scarlet & Dan Dare fans) and you get the boys favourite (dinosaurs) thrown in as well. The series follows the space adventures of a troupe of vegetarian dinosaurs (they escaped the meteor hit 50 million years ago by leaving Earth in spaceships).

This book is the seventh of the series, and involves Capt. Teggs, Arx, Gipsey and Iggy of the Starship DSS Sauropod leaving on a perilous mission to find Admiral Rosso, a crusty old Barosaurus and the leader of the Dinosaur Space Service, who has gone missing while on a holiday trip to the planet Trimuda.

The books are best read in order. My son says 'Like the other books it was cool, I liked the characters and the pictures. I also liked the cut-out cards at the front'. I would think the books would suit any pre-teen boy older than four, who appreciates space travel. I also enjoyed reading them out loud, and I think the quality of the science fiction stories is actually improving with each new book. They also have lots of good line drawn illustrations, typically two per page. There are surprisingly few good books aimed squarely at young boys about, so highly recommended. Also try 'The tentacled terror' plus the 'Horrid Henry', 'Seriously silly stories', and the 'Captain Underpants' series of books - and don't forget the eighth Astrosaurs book 'The terror bird trap'

5.0 out of 5 stars seven year old twins from Glasgow, 26 Nov 2006
By K. Hussain (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
We love Astrosaurs. We have all of them, we enjoy collecting the cards and we can't wait for the new ones to come out.

The books are funny and exciting. They have cool baddies and great heroes.

The Astosaurs are dinosaurs in space that have adventures.

this book is excellent! Even if I had to, I wouldn't give it any less than five stars. It's really funny, very, very exciting and over half of it is suprizes!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read!
