Phule’s Paradise

By Robert Asprin

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 misfi ts, 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?

Reviews for Phule’s Paradise

[writersaurusrex · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is another trip down memory lane for me, as I've had the Phule's Company series for years and have been a long-time Asprin fan.Phule's Paradise was hard to grade; I was waffling between "It was OK" and "I Liked It", finally deciding to round to the middle. It's not that there was anything really wrong with the book, or the story, or the characters. But for a book series that bills itself as a "comedy", I didn't find it very funny; I don't remember chuckling even once. The plot was predictable (although, to be fair, I've read the thing several times, but not in the last four moves, so I might have subconsciously remembered how it went), and a lot of the characters felt flat.I think if I were reading it for the first time, or reading it when we haven't been in a pandemic for over a year, I would probably enjoy it more. I mean, I obviously liked it enough to read it several times and hold onto the books for fifteen years. But for now, it just gets what it got.
