Unfortunately, I could only get 75% of the way through the book before I had to put it down. The writing style was close to the previous novels, but key characters were drastically changed in attitude and vernacular, and instead of the focused plots of the previous books this one was all over the place.While there are minor issues with most of the characters, the core issues are with Sushi and Escrima. In previous books Sushi was presented as a reserved and polite character who stuck to the odds and spoke in proper English. It was a way to contrast him with his partner, who was brash, outspoken and used a lot of slang. However, the character is now identical to his partner in both attitude and speech patterns. Escrima is written with the same issue. Previously the character was quietly intense and aggressive, spoke only rarely and used broken English. However, in this book the character is loquacious and uses full sentences with lots of slang.

a fun series of stories
Good story. Typical of series.
Love this series, Release them all! please!
This series is a hoot. Love all of Robert Asprin's books.
It is unfortunate that this series has fallen into a repetition of the same old gag. The premise, perhaps, was doomed from the start. Wacky bunch of military misfits are foisted off on equally misfit commander(promising, but here's the fatal flaw), wacky misfit commander is rich as Croesus. Therefore, instead of interestingly thinking or fighting its way out of trouble, the unit simply BUYS its way out. Perhaps this is a bit of wish fullfillment on Asprin's part considering his recent financial troubles, but it is a disappointing come-down from the thoroughly charming (if a bit formulaic) "Myth" books.
While not quite as good as previous entries in the series, (I spotted a few errors and the characters and pacing weren't quite in line with the first two book) I still found this an enjoyable read..
An enjoyable read in the same tradition as Phule's Company and Phule's Paradise.
It took a few years but Asprin and Heck do a good job of picking up where Phule's Paradise left off. Not only do all of our old favorites return (to varying degrees), but we get to make new friends along the way, many of whom carry on Asprin's trademark sense of the ridiculous. Remember how Maxine Pruet had all those horrible plans for our Captain Jester and the Omega Company at the end of Phule's Paradise? Well, they all come to pass in this enjoyable and (surprise!) offbeat sequel, but not without Phule's uncanny knack for getting himself AND his men out of hot water. But the mob boss on Lorelei isn't the only one gunning for Phule. Once again General Blitzkreig is doing his best to see the end of Willard Phule's career in the Space Legion. Things really get rolling (and we hope one of those rolling things isn't our Fearless Leader's head), when Blitzkreig sends the Omega Company back to the original site of Phule's most ignominious escapade.
Is this book worth the years of waiting? That depends on the reader. I personally don't think any book is "worth" a seven year wait. If you're looking for something to justify all that waiting, then don't bother. The result would have to be a masterpiece of monolithic proportions...and this one ain't. But if you're looking for the continuation of a story with memorable characters and satirical wit, check it out and enjoy, it's worth the discounted paperback price.
I encourage all of Asprin's fool fans...er, Phule fans to try this one out. But remember, don't let years of expectation and anticipation ruin the experience for you. Read A Phule and His Money, then go back and re-read all three books in order. I don't think you'll regret it.
