Book Description 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.

I think this book helped me realize that my favorite way to consume comedy is when its mixed up with a healthy dose of drama. This was a fun and funny book with an appropriately characituresque cast of characters. I smiled a lot and enjoyed the world created, which was, sadly, an utterly believabl...

So, what does it say on the jacket again?“In the spirit of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, The Sheriff of Yrnameer is a sci-fi comedy at its best – mordant, raucously funny, and a thrilling page turner” Whoa, that is setting the bar pretty high, innit? I hope I won’t be disappointed.So, what have...

This book was so much fun. There were some parts that I actually had to pause and take a moment because I couldn't stop laughing. It was a nice quick read and from the first chapter I was hooked. Something that's really telling of a great book is if you're not reading and maybe off doing something e...
