Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted June 9, 2014 Showmasters Admin Share Posted June 9, 2014 We are very pleased to announce our latest author for the Book Zone at LFCC MITCH BENN Attending Saturday Mitch has been a regular contributor to The Now Show on BBC Radio 4 since 1999, he has created his own radio series Mitch Benn's Crimes Against Music and regularly appears on BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright Show as the voice of Elvis. Mitch will be attending on the Saturday of LFCC to sign copies of Terra's World the greatly anticipated sequel to Terra published by Orion last year. Mitch will also be taking part in a Q&A at 10.45am, so have your questions ready. =) Terra: No-one trusts humanity. No-one can quite understand why we're intent on destroying the only place we have to live in the Universe. No-one thinks we're worth a second thought. And certainly no-one is about to let us get off Rrth. That would be a complete disaster. But one alien thinks Rrth is worth looking at. Not humanity, obviously, we're appalling, but until we manage to kill every other living thing on the planet there are some truly wonderful places on Rrth and some wonderful creatures living in them. Best take a look while they're still there. But on one trip to Rrth our alien biologist causes a horrendous accident. The occupants of a car travelling down a lonely road spot his ship (the sort of massive lemon-coloured, lemon-shaped starship that really shouldn't be hanging in the sky over a road). Understandably the Bradburys crash (interrupting the latest in a constant procession of bitter rows). And in the wreckage of their car our alien discovers a baby girl. She needs rescuing. From the car. From Rrth. From her humanity. And now 11 years later a girl called Terra is about to go to school for the first time. It's a very alien experience... TERRA is a charming and hilarious satirical fable. A story about how odd and alien we are. And a story about how human odd aliens are. It tells the story of a girl who grows up in a very different world, who gains a unique perspective on our world and a unique perspective on her new home. A girl who can teach us and them a lot. A girl living in an extraordinary world that is spiralling into a terrible war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
