Astrosaurs

Astrosaurs is a series of children's science fiction novels written by Steve Cole (pictured right). The main characters are space-going dinosaurs. The series are published by Random House. The first two Astrosaurs books were released on 1 February 2005. The Teeth of the T. Rex was a special edition book written especially for World Book Day. Free trading cards come with each Astrosaur book. However, the World Book Day title The Teeth of the T. Rex does not include cards. The first five Astrosaurs books have now been released in Audiobook format on CD in the UK.

The broad plot synopsis of the Astrosaurs series is that the dinosaurs were not in fact wiped out when a large meteor hit the earth millions of years ago; they had in fact discovered space travel during the Triassic period and had already left earth by the time the meteor struck. The dinosaurs subsequently settled in a part of space called the Jurassic Quadrant, which is divided between the carnivores and herbivores; between the two sectors is a neutral area of space. The two factions broadly stay at peace by avoiding each other, but invariably trouble flares up between the two from time to time. In Earth Attack, which is notable for being an extra-long edition, General Loki goes back in time to try and prevent the dinosaurs leaving Earth, so the whole history of Astrosaurs would never have happened.
