The Galaxy's Greatest Knowledge
In a Single Convenient Field Manual
Think every space hero was born with an army of laser-firing minions?
Think it’s easy to maintain a healthy rivalry with your archnemesis?
Think again!
Intergalactic News Flash: Even a rookie like yourself can become the next great Space Hero. But there’s more to it than seducing alien babes or swapping one-liners with our first mate. How will you combat the evils of helmet hair? Can you win a no-win scenario? If you want to survive the ‘Verse, you’ve got a lot to learn, Cadet.
The Space Hero’s Guide to Glory is a step-by-step illustrated guide that will take you from home world half-wit to interstellar idol. Filled with lessons gleaned from your legendary predecessors—including Han Solo, Captain Kirk, and Kara Thrace—you’ll learn the difference between laser and phaser, how to assemble a crew of brilliant misfits, and the basic piloting skills to avoid warping your starship straight into a black hole.
So suit up and get reading, Cadet. Space needs its next Space Hero!
Available Feb. 3 2015 from Sourcebooks, wherever books are sold.

You’re one of those people who purchases electronic copies of books. Good for you!

THE AUTHORS

Phil Hornshaw
Side Admiral
Phil Hornshaw is a would-be space cadet who failed to win a trip to Space Camp in his youth, despite entering a number of cereal box sweepstakes, and so chose to pursue TV-watching, video game-playing and writing instead. When he’s not trying to figure out what makes proton torpedoes more protony than regular torpedoes, he works as a tech and video games journalist. He currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Caitlin.
