Phule's Company

1990

In the novel that started all the phulishness, meet the soldiers of Captain Willard Phule's Company—a handful of military rejects able to do more damage before 9 a.m. than most people do all day. Threatened by an alien enemy, Earth's military sends Phule and his soldiers to a distant planet. But now, the aliens have chosen a new target of war . . . Phule's Company.

Phule's Paradise

1992

The bestselling author of the Myth series proves once again that not just anyone can join Phule's Company. They used to be the laughingstock of the interstellar armed forces—until their last mission proved successful. Now they must guard an intergalactic casino called the Fat Chance from a criminal takeover—and the odds are against the oddballs.

A Phule and His Money

1993

Captain Willard Phule has whipped his troops into shape. That's how he turned Phule's Company from the laughingstock of the Legion into... a crack team of casino security guards. Now his company is deployed to help an underdeveloped planet. And what better way to utilize their major area of expertise – goofing off – than to turn it into the biggest intergalactic playground ever?

Phule Me Twice

2000

When the planet Zenobia is invaded, Captain Willard Phule takes on the job of military advisor to the peaceful dinosaurlike Zenobians, but his mission is complicated when a robot double of Phule mysteriously appears out of nowhere. Original.

No Phule Like an Old Phule

2004

Phule gets on the wrong side of celebrity canine Barky the Environmental Dog by hosting a group of big game hunters who think they can bag a dinosaur on Zenobia. Needless to say, dinosaurs are not a native species. But cold, hard facts never stopped a Phule. And neither will Barky's cold, wet nose.

Phule's Errand

2006

Phule is without a doubt the only captain in the Space Legion with his own butler, but Beeker has stuck with him through thick and thin. Which is why it’s incomprehensible to Phule why Beeker has run off-planet without a word—and with Omega Company’s lovely new medic. Without his right-hand man, Phule has no idea what his left hand is doing. So he takes off after his errant butler, just as General Blitzkrieg decides to make a surprise visit to Zenobia. And the only thing Blitz would like better than catching Phule off guard is to catch Phule AWOL...
