Books like The sheriff of Yrnameer by Michael Rubens
Cole is a hapless space rogue turned part‑time smuggler who hijacks a luxury space yacht. Inside, he finds a cargo of freeze‑dried orphans and a motley crew of unsavory characters. The group sets out across interplanetary space to deliver the children to the remote, corporate‑free planet of Yrnameer. Along the way, they confront a feared bounty hunter, a stowaway, corporate training satellites run by middle‑management zombies, and a crew of outlaws intent on destroying Yrnameer's peaceful community. The story blends absurd humor with sci‑fi adventure in a tone reminiscent of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
