Star Bores: May the Farce be with You - Tapa dura

A parody of an old story, its sequels, their prequel sequel and its sequel prequels. In one book.

Long, long, long, long ago in a galaxy far, far, far, far away...

(Well, when I say long ago, I mean quite a long time ago; for instance, not right at the beginning of the Universe because everything was very hot then and the highest form of life was a sort of worm...)

A story of unbelievable heroism, unspeakable villainy, where new but appallingly familiar characters mess about in a hilarious struggle of good versus evil using loads of cool machines. Meet Princess Liar, a heroine with a problem with the truth, Dark Visor, a mutant with a motorcycle, Choccibikki the Cookie and Hans Zup, a surrender-oriented hero and their ship The Millennium Bug. All will have a hand in the destiny of a young bartender when the droids DoRaymefar and SolaTeedo come to town...

Steve Barlow and Steve Skidmore are both teachers of English and Drama in Leicestershire. In addition to numerous books for children of all ages, their humorous LOST DIARY and TALES OF THE DARK FOREST series have been especially sharp-witted and popular.
