Another great book in the Stardoc series. First I have to say that I have really enjoyed this series so far. I love the characters and have enjoyed the storyline.
I do have a couple complaints about this particular book. My major complaint was that I found Cherijo's continuous 'escapes' and throwing...

Robert Asprin books must be read for their fun factor and not for well-reasoned story-telling. For example, in the prior book in this series Captain Phule and company were ordered to guard a casino, resulting in Capt. Phule being taken hostage. In spite of this lesson in personal security this book begins...

I found this to be SF written very light. There's nothing that really stood out for me as either good or bad. For the amount of time it spends on character and plot set up, for all its emphasis on cutting edge biology and space travel, for the amount of talk dedicated to politics...none of all that--characters,...
