Description

You can't mistake just anyone for a Phule. When the planet Zenobia is invaded, Captain Willard Phule is made their military advisor. The first priority for Phule's Company: staying out from underfoot of the peaceful, dinosaurlike Zenobians . . . But, unbeknownst to the Zenobians, they're getting two Phules for the price of one. A robot double of Phule appears out of nowhere. And only the real Phule knows who the real Phule is . . .

The Zenobians have joined the Alliance and requested military advisors in the form of Phule's Company. The Space Legion assigns a Major Botchup to take command of Omega company and whip them into shape. And Captain Jester's robotic double is in the mix, in spotless tuxedo and carrying a martini, confusing the Omega mob, Major Botchup, and lieutenant Snipe.
This book was slower than the first few, but a fun read. Not as much time with Beeker, but a romp with the new commanding officer and Phule's double.
Despite it’s probably having been written entirely by Mr. Heck instead of Asprin, this book was still good. I think it was even better than “A Phule and His Money”. Still light-hearted and funny, it’s an easy, entertaining read. I’m moving right on to the next one.
Like fairy floss, but in the shape of a book.

Robert Lynn Asprin was born June 28, 1946 in St. Johns, Michigan to Daniel and Lorraine Asprin. Asprin attended the University of Michigan from 1964-65. In 1965, Robert served in the U.S. Army until mid-1966. Asprin then began a career as an accountant, moving up to cost accountant in a small subsidiary of the Xerox Corporation in Ann Arbor in show more 1976. In 1975, Asprin began working upon a science-fiction novel called Cold Cash War. Asprin sold this idea to St. Martin's Press and soon found himself a published writer. When other publishers approached him for a second novel, Asprin revealed that he had written up a draft of a comedy-fantasy work originally entitled The Demon and I, but they felt that he shouldn't stray far from the science-fiction of his first work. So Asprin began work on The Bug Wars. While working on The Bug Wars, Asprin was approached by Donning Publishing, and asked if he had a submission for their new publishing house, Starblaze. Asprin showed them The Demon and I, which Donning quickly accepted. At the last minute the title was changed to the familiar Another Fine Myth, which became quite popular. With that, Asprin quit his job and started his career as a fulltime freelance writer. Asprin wrote and edited over 50 books. He died of a myocardial infarction at home in his bed on May 22, 2008.
