disappointing, not because it was not enjoyable but because i grew to expect so much from this series and this novel fell short. i can't even point out exactly what it was that was wrong with the book. all the right elements were present but they didn't seem to fit. there is one more in the series and i hold out hopes that it will recover what ever it was that this one lost.

Definitely not as good as the previous ones in this series. The AEIOU is after the Legion now, some environmental group with a down on the military. A group of big game hunters are convinced that Zenobia is the next big hunting ground. A strange new recruit shows up for Omega Company. And worst of all, Captain Jesters (aka the Phule of the title) has an unexpected visit from his father.
Too many new characters, too much going on, not enough of a real story or any tension to build on. The big game hunters story line was the funniest, but really, I'm not sure I'll bother with the next one in this series. Instead, I'll reread the first two. They were much better.

I thought about stopping reading this series after the last one, and maybe I really should have. For all its faults, what the series had going for it was a sense of fun and wish fulfillment. Both of those were missing here, and on top of that most of the characters were quite bland, almost unrecognisable. Not a lot to recommend it.
