The New York Times–bestselling novel about a military legion of misfits assigned to defend a space station from a mob boss.
 
THE FEW. THE PROUD. THE STUPID. THE INEPT. It was the perfect solution, put highly connected Captain Willard Phule in charge of the worst dregs of the Space Force. Sure, Phule’s Company may be a band of rejects and misfits, but they did manage to save the day with their unorthodox methods. Embarrassed, the Space Force may have found the perfect equation for disaster: Assign Phule’s pack of oddballs to save the Fat Chance Casino from a criminal take over. Phule’s Company may stop the mob . . . but who will save the casino from them?
 
Praise for the Phule’s Company series:
 
“A winning story . . . part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer.” —Publishers Weekly
 
“Madcap . . . a welcome sendup of military sf.” —Booklist
 
“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
