Phule's Company in Real Operation, 18 Aug 2003
By APRICOT "ryoko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phule's Paradise (Phule's Company) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book of Phule's Company Series. Phule's Company gets a new assignment of guarding a casino. It seems a sweet duty in paradise, but Phule smells a rat at the smirk of the general who hates him.This book describes Phule's Company's full-blown activity in real operation (rather espionage than combat, though). It is much more exciting than Book 1, "Phule's Company". But that is founded on Book 1, so please read Book 1 first.
In this book, the characters display their personality and/or ability more freely. Beeker is especially nice; long-winded and cynical, but a priceless adviser for Phule. And Lieutenant Rembrandt, the relatively obscure vice-commander, plays a superb role in this book.
This book ends rather cliff-hangingly, but I can't decide whether to read Book 3, "A Phule and His Money". Because it seems that Asprin wouldn't or couldn't write the sequel and that the Book 3 was written by another writer, and its reputation is very very very bad.

casino entertainment gets a new lease of live (sort of), 26 May 2001
By K. Maxwell "katmax1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phule's Paradise (Phule's Company) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a great, but very different, follow up to "Phule's company". In this book the troops of Omega company get their first real assignment under their new commander - to guard a casino from hostile takover in "paradise".The "guarding" does not turn out to be simple however, as a take over of a casino can take many forms and the troops need to learn new skills and take on new "members".
This is a fun book and it continues with the theme's of leadership which was really the heart of the first book. This was actually a quite new idea and I've never read another SF book with this plot (or anything like it before). Here's hoping the quality can continue in the 3rd book.

A Phun Read, 26 Jun 2004
By David A. Lessnau - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phule's Paradise (Phule's Company) (Mass Market Paperback)
Like its predecessor, "Phule's Company," this book is a light, fun read. The only thing I really didn't like about it was the very end. If Asprin had left out the last page and a half, I'd have been very happy. However, he added that last bit to provide a hook to later books. I just don't think he needed that and it detracted from the ending of this book. Other than that, though, I recommend this book for anyone looking for some light reading.
