Sheriff of Yrnameer | Michael Rubens
5 posts | 3 read | 13 to read
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-heres--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.

32/150 If you liked Hitchhiker's Guide, then I think you'll get a real kick out of this book. The author is really going for a irreverent, whimsical vibe, and he succeeds most of the time, although he adds some darker elements, zombie cannibals, that seemed out of place. It's all taken pretty lighthearted, even when lives are in danger. Cole, the Sheriff of Yrnameer, is a loveable loser kind of guy, who screws up and gets dumped on ⬇️

RamsFan1963 but ends up doing okay at the end. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 32nd book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 9mo

This book was just the kind of juvenile space-romp that gets me every time. The helpless hero with a shady past gets thrust into all kind of predicament with a cast of galactic villainy! Hilarity ensues! I really enjoyed it - Hitchhikers Guide its not, but it‘s up there. The author used to be a writer for Jon Stewart back on The Daily Show days - so it‘s got that going for it.
