19) "Will Save The Galaxy For Food" - Yahtzee Croshaw (Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, as we learn in the 'about the author' in the back cover.)
This was a tremendously fun book that kept me pulled right along. Star pilots are all out of work because of the invention of an instantaneous transfer technology. Previously they had all been trailblazers and spent their time rescuing one planet after another from The Malmind, but that seems to be all over, now. Earth is one huge terrorized mega-state that has given up all civil rights to fight terrorism, and is actually ruled by an organized crime boss (who's skin is orange, oddly). His son runs off with the daughter of the president of Earth. Action revolves around an out of work star pilot and the former personal assistant to the mob boss. Hijinx ensue.
