“Finally, a science fiction book your grandmother will love—If
she’s a lustful, violent lady.” —Stephen Colbert
“A top-tier genre novel. . . . Biting and incisive. . . . Rubens
really has his own thing going here.” —Seth Grahame-Smith, author
of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
“A silly, fun romp across the universe.” —The Wichita Eagle
“A rocket-fast, knee-slapping narrative. . . . Lighthearted [and]
adventure-filled. . . . Cole’s ludicrous exploits keep the laughs
coming.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Rubens] pokes gentle fun at a few of SF’s basic assumptions while
exploring their acceptance as potential for entertainment.” —The
Seattle Times
“Rubens hits the jackpot with a zanily humorous parody of sf
adventure, with tributes to space-opera and Western classics along
the way. . . . Recalling the volatile and irreverent humor of Terry
Pratchett's Discworld series, this madcap journey through space
will appeal to Pratchett's readers and fans of such sf film
parodies as Galaxy Quest and Space Balls.” —Library Journal
