About this item
Thursday, November 7, 2019 ~ 7:00pm 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.
About the Author
My 2012 novel Sons of the 613 was selected by Kirkus Reviews, YALSA, and Tablet Magazine as one of the best books of the year, and received a rare perfect 10 from VOYA. Stephen Colbert called my first novel, The Sheriff of Yrnameer, "A science fiction book your grandmother will love -- if she's a lustful, violent lady." My third novel, The Bad Decisions Playlist, will be published by Clarion in August of 2016, and I have a fourth novel slated for publication in 2017. My work has also appeared in The New Yorker's Daily Shouts, HuffPost Comedy and Salon. I'm currently a producer with Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, and have also been a producer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. For a brief period I was also the world's least effective bouncer.
