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.Cooper Simpson can't believe his luck when an otherwise crappy day ends with an invitation to join the International Galactic Council. As Earth's first leader on the interstellar body, he figures it's got to be better than the pressures of home and troubles at school. Unfortunately, it doesn't him take long to realise space can also suck the big one. The other races look down on humanity, danger and death lurk around every moon, and then there's Earth's other councillors - best mate The Ginge, who has a tenuous grip on reality, plus the last two people he would ever voluntarily spend time with - cowardly Pete and school thug Knuckles, who prefers to punch first and ask questions later. The lads might have the fate of the world in their hands, but at first they're more interested in cute alien girls and a machine that can literally create anything they want - including limitless free pizza. It sounds perfect. But as they delve deeper into council politics, they discover a conspiracy that threatens to tear the galaxy apart. With the world on the brink of war it's up to them to save the day. Whatever the outcome, life will never be the same again.

Ever had someone lazy steal all the credit for a group project? It sucks, doesn't it? So you can only imagine how Death - harbinger of all that is evil - feels to discover his apocalyptic-style takeover of Earth has been christened the Zombie RiZing. Like those braindead walkers had anything to do with it Guess he's just going to have to up the ante a little bit...As the action continues in Matt J Pike's award-winning series, life is getting darker, harder and faster for Beath and her brave band of survivors. Monsters roam the streets in ever-growing numbers, lava rivers erupt from the earth's core and the CBD has turned into HQ central for the big bad's plan to build a literal portal to hell. Then there's the dragon, whose specialty is crispy-fried everything. And a beastie whose weapon of choice is poo torpedoes. It's almost enough to make you call in sick for life.Fortunately, all hope isn't lost. As the gang takes shelter in a mysterious new house, see off rogue survivors and outwit death and danger at every corner, a cunning new plan takes shape. One that involves taking the fight to Death himself. On his turf. And with almost no chance of victory. All in favour say "aye"
