A Phule and His Money (Phule's Company Series #3)

by Robert Asprin, Peter J. Heck

Overview

From a New York Times bestseller, a commander leads a legion of misfits as they create an amusement park on another planet in this sci-fi comedy.
 
Captain Willard Phule has whipped his troops into shape, turning Phule’s Company from the laughingstock of the Legion into . . . a crack team of casino security guards. Now his company is deployed to help an underdeveloped planet. And what better way to utilize their major area of expertise—goofing off—than to turn the planet into the biggest intergalactic playground ever?
 
Praise for the Phule’s Company series:

“Light without being frivolous, and displays Asprin’s considerable expertise about fencing and things military, especially leadership.” —Chicago Sun-Times
