Insurgency — Walter Knight

The sprawling spoof science-fiction saga continues as Colonel Joey R. Czerinski and his miscreant band of legionnaires try to quell a citizen uprising in planet New Colorado's New Gobi Desert and foil an insurgency plot to kill the spider Arthropodan Emperor and his lovely wife, Queen Rainbow. Suspicion and mistrust based on misinformation threaten the stability of Legion command, while Czerinski deals with personal troubles arising from a tryst with a long-gone marine and a cameo appearance by a new and frightening megalomaniac. Through it all, Czerinski keeps his cool, and the laughs keep coming.
