Lost Explorers 

In Lost Explorers, a spaceship and it’s crew have gone missing and the Starchasers have accepted the dangerous, but well-paid rescue mission. On a planet, covered in a plant infested ocean, the team locate the Red Star’s distress beacon. The ship is stranded, beyond repair, on the bottom of the ocean. And this ocean is full of errupting underwater volcanoes and giant killer fish! Can the Starchasers brave the dangerous waters and save the Red Star Crew? The exciting plots and entertaining characters ensure Starachsers are classic, simple and rewarding reads for reluctant and struggling readers. Supported by superb black and white illustrations throughout, each story is approximately 2600 words long, with carefully controlled vocabulary and simple sentences that will help carry the reluctant reader from beginning to end. Lost Explorers is part of the Starchasers series published by Ransom Publishing. The books follow the antics of the Starchasers — a team of freelance space adventurers who will take on just about any mission that’s legal and earns good money. These classic, fast paced, high action space adventures are perfect for readers aged 8 — 14 with reading age of 8 — 9.
