From a New York Times bestseller, a commander of misfits runs a hunting expedition on an alien planet in a “madcap . . . welcome sendup of military sf” (Booklist).
Desperate to kick Phule out of the Space Legion, General Blitzkrieg sends a crack team of environmental investigators—including celebrity canine Barky the Environmental Dog—to sniff out Phule and his unnatural disasters. It doesn’t take long. Phule is hosting a group of big-game hunters who think they can bag a dinosaur on Zenobia. Needless to say, dinosaurs are not a native species. But cold, hard facts never stopped a Phule . . . And neither will Barky’s cold, wet nose.
Praise for the Phule’s Company series:
“A winning story . . . part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer.” —Publishers Weekly
“Light without being frivolous, and displays Asprin’s considerable expertise about fencing and things military, especially leadership.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Reminiscent of ‘M*A*S*H.’” —Analog Science Fiction and Fact Magazine
