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.

Already famous in sf circles for his Myth Adventure series, Asprin, accompanied here by sometime mystery author Heck, is rapidly becoming just as famous for his madcap Phule books. That's Phule as in Galactic Alliance officer Willard Phule, thrill-seeking megamillionaire bachelor, who, along with his motley band of misfit troops and his ever-eloquent butler, Beeker, remains stationed on one of the alliance's drearier outposts, Zenobia. In his latest misadventures, an ambassador friend courts his favor to cajole the locals into allowing big-game hunting on the planet. As he tries to oblige, he must put up with a bungled kidnapping attempt, the meddling of his munitions magnate father, the arrival of a hotshot new recruit, and an unplanned visit from the Alliance Ecological Interplanetary Observation Union--AEIOU, that is--and celebrity canine Barky the Environmental Dog. The Phule series is a welcome send up of military sf. Asprin devotees and readers who like their sf light won't want to miss the latest installment. Carl Hays
