A gripping new teen sci-fi novel written by Alex Prior called Spencer Edwards: Emperor of the Galaxy. Alex has teamed up with Marvel artist and MCU concept artist Adi Granov on the dynamic cover for the story.
Manchester University graduate and former headteacher Alex Prior had a background in TV and film when he started to write his rollercoaster adventure Spencer Edwards: Emperor of the Galaxy for teens, using his knowledge from both aspects of his career to create a cinematic plot that would interest his old students
A high-concept book with many twists and turns, it tackles profound and contemporary issues in a way that stays accessible for its teen audience, and the dynamic cover designed by sci-fi fan and Marvel artist Adi Granov certainly captures this.
A new and unlikely hero must learn how to balance being the chosen Emperor of the Galaxy while battling the most ruthless enemy of all time, getting his homework done on time, and discovering the truth about himself. A story of friendship and growth, with humour sprinkled in, it will bring a lumpt to the throat of readers young and old more than once while being set against the backdrop of an exciting and dangerous Galaxy on the brink of war
Alex explains: “I wrote this book for everyone who has ever looked at the night sky and wondered about the possibilities, and for every young person and adult who has dreamed of their own potential.
I wanted to create a new hero and his friends who any reader could relate to and care about. Spencer is you, me, our friends and our family, but more than that, he shows us that we are all capable of growth and extraordinary courage, even in the most extreme circumstances. He has no super-powers and yet is able to become, through his humanity, a leader and inspiration to others.”
Spencer Edwards: Emperor of the Galaxy is the first book of a new series.
