Review

“Plenty of odd characters...fun!” –Locus

 

“A winning story... part science fiction, part spoof, part heart-warmer.” – Publisher’s Weekly

 

“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

 

“A grand mix of common sense, outrageous and hilarious foolishness stirred with a dash of wisdom into a delectable mess to be served with tongue in cheek.” –Kliatt

 

“Reliably entertaining...a fun read, light without being vapid and clever without being heavy-handed.  This series is Asprin’s strongest to date, and it’s off to a good start.”  --Amazing

 

“Asprin knows how to make me laugh...I suggest you sign up for this particular grand tour of duty.” -- Fear
