‘Space Travelers land at Buckingham Palace’ is a marvellously creative story that follows the adventures of our band of heroes as they explore the best entertainment that planet earth has to offer. From the planet Volpon, a mysterious world many galaxies away, comes Commander Astrid and her loyal and unique fellow travelers. Despite looking like human children, and each with quirky personal traits that lead to endless amusing situations, the Volponian visitors to earth manage to save the day on countless occasions.

From saving Cambridge from near and catastrophic defeat in the boat race, to helping to remove dangerous pollution from the world’s atmosphere, the space travelers certainly don’t come to earth to have a relaxing holiday. Instead they end up participating in death-defying climbing tasks and amazing physical efforts to keep themselves out of trouble and keep their secret identities hidden from the nosey and dangerous journalist Percival Tweed. Exploring some of the most exciting events in British culture and some of the pillars of British society, the travelers return to Britain again and again, each time with a new plan that will inevitably somehow go wrong.

Fast-paced and absorbing from start to finish, Peter Lancaster creates a captivating story with inevitably lovable heroes. From the incredibly physically fit but slightly boastful Elliot to Zip and Jip, the super-smart robots somewhat lacking in social skills, every character is memorable for their own separate reason, and all contributes to the different adventures that the team experience. Despite small quarrels and many near-disasters, the space travelers always manage to rescue each other when in trouble.

Bursting with colour and character, Space Travelers Land at Buckingham Palace is the perfect book for anyone who enjoys a truly exciting story. Lancaster an expert storyteller and the author’s integrity is mirrored in his heroes. Never dull, and told with real intelligence and a joyful sense of humour, the reader will immediately fall in love with every one of the bubbly group of space travelers.
