America's Galactic Foreign Legion - Book 21 — Walter Knight

In the twenty-first installment of this preposterous science fiction series, Colonel Joey R. Czerinski has his hands full trying to keep the drug trade and the Arthropodan spider commander under control on planet New Colorado. Stationed at the New Gobi Desert, the Legion battalion suffers hot conditions, but things heat up even more when Major Manny Lopez uses the time machine to bring two grade-A cookers from the past to concoct a special recipe of blue powder to be distributed on New Colorado. Privates Whyte and Pink, with new identities and a new lease on life, are now working for Lopez and his CIA buddies â€" and another silent partner who will remain unnamed. As usual, Czerinski is unaware and ineffectual in handling the situation, even when God gets involved! With one crisis averted, another always takes its place, and thermonuclear war looms on the horizon, but Czerinski's attention is focused elsewhere. Can he keep it together long enough to make another successful wager on football? His motto has always been, ‘If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.' And get out he does when things get really hot in New Gobi City. Time for a little R&R far, far away, in the past. Patton for President, anyone? The laughs continue to the bitter end of defeat. This unapologetic spoof pays homage to the wildly popular TV show, 'Breaking Bad.'
