“A science-fiction book your grandmother will love––if she’s a lustful, violent lady.” –Stephen Colbert
“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 producer Rubens. Keeps the laughs coming…a rocket-fast, knee-slapping narrative.” –Publisher’s Weekly
“A tremendously fun and surprisingly touching read.” –Alison Laubach, BookPeople
“Rubens hits the jackpot with a zanily humorous parody of sf adventure, with tributes to space-opera and Western classics along the way.” –Library Journal
“Really, really funny.” –BJ Bloebaum, Powells
