“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

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