The
Great Planet Robbery
By Craig DiLouie
“DiLouie
flavors Kipling’s “The Man Who Would Be King”
with a dash of Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War
to create this rollicking military SF farce. Fans of
humorous science fiction will find plenty to enjoy in
this time-traveling, galaxy-crossing romp.”—Publishers
Weekly
"The
Great Planet Robbery is highly recommended to
science fiction fans everywhere and deserves a place
on community library sci-fi shelves."—Midwest
Book Review
"Always
a fan of good space opera, I found this book to be very
entertaining. The
author has put together a group of characters that any Star
Trek or Star Wars fan would love. The
characterization provided a different slant on the usual
space traveler and space travel theme. The story evolved
naturally and the action sequences were quick and
believable without the need for excessive gore. Well
done.

Dobbs and Muldoon have finally figured out a way to get mightily
rich.
Lawrence Dobbs and Timothy
Muldoon, Colonial Marines and thorough rascals, are
the last of a dying breed of adventurers in a
Federation that has tamed dozens of wild planets and
is increasingly becoming civilized. When an old
astronaut offers to sell them a map that will take
them to a legendary planet promising rivers of gold,
Dobbs and Muldoon recruit a crew of misfits for one
last great adventure. They soon realize they haven’t
just discovered gold, but the very secret of alchemy.
To keep it, they just have to fight millions of
hostile natives, a team of elite bounty hunters, a
combat-assassin android named Bova and the emperor of
a dead civilization.
They will rob an entire planet.
