Description

Follow the adventures of Professor McMoo and his team of time-travelling crimebusters! We give you... udderly fabulous time-travelling cows! A brilliantly funny and wildly quirky series from the creator of ASTROSAURS. Professor McMoo is a very clever cow - so clever, in fact, that he has managed to build himself a time machine from discarded farming machinery. He and his two cow friends, Pat and Bo Vine live on the Barmer farm, in fear of the hideous farmer's wife, Betty. But they are also star agents of the CIA - Cows in Action, a crack team of cow commandos! In the future, cows live peacefully with humans as equals, not as food. But some cows in the future try to use the technology of time travel to interfere with history - and the Prof has to help stop that! In THE ROMAN MOO-STERY, the CIA have to travel back to Roman times, to help foil a plan by the evil ter-moo-nators to stop the Great Fire of Rome from starting. They have to fight gladiators, race chariots and use their cow genius to stop the baddies! Another hilarious and pun-filled adventure in this moo-vellous new series.

Author Biography

Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them. Later on he started writing them too, with titles ranging from pre-school poetry to Young Adult thrillers (with more TV and film tie-ins than he cares to admit to along the way). In other careers he has been the editor of Noddy magazine, and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers. He is the author of the hugely successful Astrosaurs, Cows in Action, Astrosaurs Academy and Slime Squad series, and now the phenomenal Young Bond series.
