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-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 must-listen.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: William Dufris delivers a captivating, lighthearted, and funny narration. He moves effortlessly from character to character, changing accents and creating distinct personalities with ease. Our hero, space adventurer Cole, is a liar, a thief, and a cheat, but he outwits Kenneth, an alien who wants to incubate eggs in his brain, and his archenemy, Runk. Cole's ludicrous exploits will keep listeners laughing and listening. This absurd universe also includes dust motes carrying branding messages and middle-management zombies. Dufris never stumbles when pronouncing campy names like Yrnameer, InVestCo 3, Xhat, FunWorld World, Bacchi, and more. Dufris moves the rocket-fast farcical narrative along, ratcheting up the tension during the darker moments. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

        June 8, 2009
        A down-and-out space faring rogue finds himself the protector of a bunch of peacenik artisans in this lighthearted, adventure-filled debut from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
        writer Rubens. Space adventurer Cole is a liar and a thief and a cheat, and he owes a lot of money to Kenneth, an alien who wants to incubate eggs in the deadbeat's brain. Cole's escape from Kenneth lands him in the middle of a scheme to deliver a batch of freeze-dried orphans to the backwater planet of Yrnameer, which turns out to be under attack from Cole's archenemy, the outlaw Runk. Cole's ludicrous exploits keep the laughs coming as Rubens grandly ignores the niceties of world building and coherent plotting in favor of clever pop culture references and a rocket-fast, knee-slapping narrative.
