About the Book
Take a company of misfits, add one millionaire, a dash of new recruits, and stir up some trouble...Book Synopsis
"A winning story... part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer."-Publishers Weekly
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?
