Synopsis

What's a millionaire bachelor to do? Join the army—with his butler—of course.

Meet Captain Willard Phule and his company of misunderstood misfits. Together, they've taken space by storm—and left a tradition of zaniness and laughter in their wake . . .

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.

Goodreads review by Phoebe on October 04, 2020

In this book, Captain Phule has to deal with an overzealous environmentalist department of the government while simultaneously hosting a group of politically important big game hunters. We also follow a starry-eyed new recruit (of a species that did not exist in book one of this series) as he joins......more

Goodreads review by Peter Fox on March 21, 2020

Again Captain Jester and his company of space legionnaires have moved from one outrageous situation to another, and this time they have a Lepoid added to the mix. If you have read any of the other books then you will already be aware of what you are getting into, and if you haven't, then go to book o......more

Goodreads review by RandomSkev on February 09, 2018

I liked this book about as much as any of the others in the series, but gave it a lower rating because I don't think it would "stand alone" as well as any of the others. The story added dimension to several lesser characters, which I liked, but the main character receded into the background a bit. I......more
