From a New York Times bestseller, a commander leads a legion of misfits as they create an amusement park on another planet in this sci-fi comedy. Captain Willard Phule has whipped his troops into shape, turning Phule’s Company from the laughingstock of the Legion into . . . a crack team of casino security guards.
