The Reluctant Adventures of Fletcher Connolly on the Interstellar Railroad is a five-book series by Felix R. Savage, all published in 2016. The books follow Fletcher Connolly, an Irishman who gets pulled into adventures across the galaxy despite his best efforts to avoid trouble. The titles alone give a sense of the tone: Skint Idjit, Intergalactic Bogtrotter, Banjaxed Ceili, and Supermassive Blackguard.
The Irish slang and cultural references give the series a distinct voice in the space opera genre. Savage plays the comedy straight, letting the absurdity of the situations carry the humor rather than relying on slapstick. Readers who want space opera that does not take itself too seriously will enjoy these.
