GOLD MEDAL: Teen Literature Fiction

2013 Global Ebook Awards

The galaxy is on the brink of war and only four dysfunctional, hormone-driven teenagers from Earth stand in its way. God help us all.

It didn’t take Cooper long to come to the conclusion that space sucks. It seems everyone there despises humans, everything’s too far away and the travel makes you heave. Worse still, Cooper’s stuck there with his best mate, The Ginge – who can’t tell where games end and reality begins – and two other former classmates who want to beat the crap out of him.
Oh yeah, and people, well… alien people are trying to kill them.
Space does have some good points. The boys can have anything they wish for, all they have to do is ask it … or think it. Plus they are now, somehow, Earth’s leaders – as in, more important than the President of the USA.
If Cooper can only stop the other boys from gorging on their every desire, chasing the most human looking alien women and fighting each other, he might convince everyone that humans aren’t the galactic equivalent of white trash.
But things are about to get a whole lot worse. War looms and Cooper and his inept sidekicks are caught in the middle. They, the Earth and the Galaxy will never be the same again.

“The galaxy is on the brink of war and four dysfunctional, hormone-driven teenagers are Earth’s only hope. Adelaide writer Pike’s twisted and colourful imagination straps the reader in and blasts off on a wild intergalactic ride. The humour is sharp and witty and the story is peppered with clever pop culture references, particularly from the world of gaming. From the AC/DC cameo to unexpected teenage fatherhood, the plot twists are utterly unpredictable. The boys find themselves thrust into a position of power in the intergalactic power structure, and, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance, they are forced to make difficult choices. A fantastic debut book that is targeted at teenage boys but which will entertain a much wider audience.”

Bringing the galaxy back from the brink of war and saving the Earth was merely the entrée. Things are about to go next-level FUBAR

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 upstarts.
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… and shart… especially if you leave your comms on #rookieerror. Catch all the epic, hilarious action in book two of the award-winning Starship Dorsano Chronicles.
