Will I love Phule's Company?

I have loved Robert Asprin as a storyteller since I read his fantasy series.

When I saw his name on a sci-fi action/adventure/comedy, I knew I had to give it a go. I am very glad I did. I loved the main character and how he was introduced; it had to be one of the best setups I have ever read in this genre.

This novel went by too fast. I finished it in just over a day because I did not want to put it down.

Willard J. Phule, the rich son of a millionaire arms manufacturer, reforms a group of misfits in the Space Legion, a fictional organization similar to the French Foreign Legion, into an “elite fighting force.” What I love about this book is the mix of humor and common sense. I’m a big fan of out-of-the-box thinking in tactical situations, and Phule’s Company uses it in spades.
