Science Fiction
Meet Cole: hapless space rogue, part-time smuggler, on a
path to being full-time dead. His sidekick just stole his
girlfriend. The galaxy's most hideous and feared bounty
hunter wants to lay eggs in his brain. And the luxury space
yacht Cole just hijacked turns out of be filled with
interstellar do-gooders, one especially loathsome stowaway,
and a cargo of freeze-dried orphans. Reluctantly compelled to deliver these defenseless,
fluidless children to safety, Cole gathers a misfit crew
for a desperate journey to the far reaches of the galaxy.
Their destination: the mysterious world of Yrnameer, the
very last of the your-name-here-planets without corporate
sponsors. But little does Cole know that this legendary
utopia is home to a murderous band of outlaws bent on
destroying the planet's tiny, peaceful community. Follow Cole's adventures through a delightfully absurd
science-fiction universe, where the artificial intelligence
is stupid, dust motes carry branding messages, and middle-
management zombies have overrun a corporate training
satellite. In the spirit of Douglas Adams and Terry
Pratchett, The Sheriff of Yrnameer is sci-fi comedy at its
best--mordant, raucously funny, and a thrilling page-turner.
