Kings of the World: 1 (Starship Dorsano Chronicles)

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 cant believe his luck when an otherwise crappy day ends with an invitation to join the International Galactic Council. As Earths first leader on the interstellar body he figures its got to be better than the pressures of home and troubles at school. Unfortunately it doesnt 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 theres Earths 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 theyre 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 its up to them to save the day. Whatever the outcome life will never be the same again.
