Story
It was the perfect solution - put highly connected Captain Willard Phule in charge of the worst dregs of the Space Force. Sure, Phule's Company may be a band of rejects and misfits, but they did manage to save the day with their unorthodox methods. Embarrassed, the Space Force may have found the perfect equation for disaster: Assign Phule's pack of oddballs to save the Fat Chance Casino from a criminal take over. Phule's Company may stop the mob...but who will save the casino from them?

Story
Skeeve is a magician’s apprentice (and a wanna-be thief) until an assassin’s bolt kills his master, Garkin. Along with Aahz, the green-scaled, purple-tongued demon and master magician summoned by Garkin, he sets out on a quest to get even. The road to vengeance is bound to prove rocky, however, because Skeeve can barely light a candle with his beginning magic, and Aahz has lost his own considerable magical abilities as a consequence of Garkin’s summoning spell.

Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it's a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. And boy, do they have news. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on humanity's music ever since "Year Zero" (1977 to us), when American pop songs first reached alien ears. This addiction has driven a vast intergalactic society to commit the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang.

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Publisher's Summary
After being court-martialed by the Space Legion for ordering the strafing of a treaty-signing ceremony, multimillionaire Willard Phule receives his punishment: He must command the misfit Omega Company on Haskin's Planet, a mining settlement on the edge of settled space. At his duty station, he leverages his personal money and a knack for managing people to get the company to come together as a unit. Phule convinces the governor to leave the contract for an honorary duty up for competition between the Space Legionnaires and the Regular Army. The Army sends some of their most elite troops to take part in the competition, but Phule's company operates with their own unique tactics....

What made the experience of listening to Phule's Company the most enjoyable?
A nice book to listen to when you just want to relax and listen to something but don't want to have to follow it too closely. It was funny, fun, and performed well. No complaints worth mentioning.

Refreshing
I first read this book over 20 years ago and could never find it in a library or book store after that. Then I got lucking and found the whole series at a used book store and even in my 30's I still enjoyed every long night reading these books. Then Tantor comes out of left field and makes it an audio book, not only that but a very well done version too.
The misfits of the Omega Mob are great and now that I can sit back and just enjoy their antics it's even better. Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen, it's lighthearted, intriguing, and funny. You won't regret it.

Entitled know-it-all steamrolls misfit crew
As much as I liked this author’s Myth Adventure series, this one fell completely flat. Phule is a spoiled, arrogant brat who, when placed in charge of the military D-squad, proceeds to solve everyone’s problems with money or by smugly informing them how to better themselves (which he figures out by their first interaction). The supporting characters are minorities with rather typecast accents and personalities. The biggest problem, however, is boredom. There’s no humor or action, just this rich white dude and his butler bullying everyone.
For a better space romp, try the Space Team omnibus (books 1-3 for 1 credit).
For a space opera with wizards, try the Black Ocean omnibus (85 hrs for 1 credit)
For a gang of scoundrels in space, go with the Firefly series (some books currently free in Audible Plus)
For space opera featuring military tones, try Galaxy’s Edge (a mixed bag for me) or Forsaken Mercenary (Jason Bourne meets dystopian space opera).

Witty, fun, intellectual without baggage.
I am an “myth” enthusiast, Asprin’s other comical series, and though the setting is dipped in military flavor, it deliveries.
It’s definitely a story starter that alludes to more conflict it later books, but the lack of immediate threat doesn’t distract from the enjoyment of discovering Phule’s company.
The narration is excellent; the separate voices for each character are all expertly portrayed, and Robert’s use of different perspectives only enhance the experience.

Brilliant Book
Any additional comments?
I came back to audible after finishing the book to find any other in the series to buy but unfortunately there isn't any more yet. I guess I'll have to wait. I loved the book, I was rapt in in the whole time. Too short for how good it was. I can't wait for the next one. I always like that kind of character, who is full of wit and act decisively in any situation.

Military foolishness
I read the series years ago, and when I became a member of audible I regularly checked in the hope that I might find them.
The wait was well worth it., the narrator is great with excellent characterisations.
There is a touch of Terry Pratchett's discworld humour and riculousness
in it.

A light-hearted, old fashioned, adventure story
This is a light-hearted, easy to listen to, upbeat adventure story. In many ways this novel is very old fashioned. Although it was written in 1990, many of the characters would be at home in a P. G. Wodehouse story. Phule's Company contains technology, and social attitudes, which feel a bit dated today, but its humor is timeless. The narration is excellent – the narrator uses old fashioned accents to read an old fashioned story.

Sexist
This author just can't seem to describe a woman without commenting on her attractiveness, her breasts or her bum. He does this constantly, even long after we've got to know the characters. It's relentless. Does he ever comment on the male characters shapely testicals or how attractive they are? Of course not. The author even does an honest to goodness no-homo at one point. I know this was written in the 90s but it really hasn't aged well.
Also, the story is about the 1% solving every situation by throwing money at problems. That side hasn't aged super well either.
