That is one wimpy-looking right arm.Click for full image

Good Show Sir Comments: Not to be confused with Captain Flandry: Defender of the Terran Empire.  It’s just called “Flandry” on the title page. From the back cover: “Parts of this volume have been published separately as A Circus of Hells and The Rebel Worlds.”

Published 1993

Actually, that cover IS a classical work of art!I would touch it without protective gloves.I've seen worse. Far, far, worse.Interesting, but I would still read it in public.Middlng: Neither awful nor awfully goodWould not like to be seen reading that!Awful... just awful...That belongs in a gold-lame picture frame!Gah... my eyes are burning! Feels so good!Good Show Sir! (Average: 7.42 out of 10)

    Bender stares in shock as his lance shatters!

    Matt Damon, Taylor Swift, and mutant ninja turtles to star.

    “It’s my pleasure to pose for this portrait, dear lady, but I – really – must shoot this little blighter in the head!”

  4. THX 1138 Says:

    What really happened during Matt Houston’s missing time when he had been abducted by the space aliens.

    The suns never set on the Terran Empire.
    C’mon BAEN. There is still enough room on this cover to have squeezed in a deep space fleet battle AND a sword fight.

  6. Bibliomancer Says:

    Baen there, done that.

  7. Tat Wood Says:

    Flandry I love you, but we’ve only got fourteen hours to save the Earth.

    When Geraldo Rivera dreams . . . .

    Flandry: Defender of the Waxed Mustache.

    Looks like the little lizard guy in the back has frozen his tail off.

  11. Ray P Says:

    Has Bender a virgin alarm? Romancing the Princess Bride on the planet of space-newts.

  12. Tat Wood Says:

    It must have been a horrible injury: the field-surgeon was forced to graft an eleven year old girl’s right arm on to replace the one Flandry lost, and accidentally stuck it six inches below the shoulder-socket.

  13. Ray P Says:

    How did he do such fantastic feats with such spindly arms?

  14. Anna T. Says:

    So a damsel and a bobblehead toy in Roman-ish armour pose for a photo . . . while monstrous humanoids with glowing red eyes roam the icefields.

    Sounds legit.

    Magnum P.I., in a very special episode — injured and in hospital, Magnum imagines himself a space hero…

    (With apologies to Hanna-Barbera)

    Flandry!
    The most effectual Flandry!
    Who’s intellectual—
    Close friends get to call him just F.
    What that stands for, well you can guess.

    Flandry!
    The indisputable leader of GSS.
    He’s a guy, he’s a spy, he’s got girls by the thigh
    He’s the most Sci-Fi,
    Flandry!

    (Bridge)

    Yes, he’s a dude, he’s a king
    But above everything
    He’s a giant tool—
    Flandry!

  17. Ray P Says:

    Which makes Higgins the robot and TC and Rick newts?

  18. Perry Armstrong Says:

    Flandry’s baby arm makes his weapon look bigger.

  19. Ray P Says:

    I wonder how he keeps it up. (The sense of wonder genre!)

  20. DaveM Says:

    Hercule Poirot, the early years!

  21. JuanPaul Says:

    I’ll tell ya, Jane, these sea monkeys really are amazing!

  22. HappyBookworm Says:

    What about Ensign Flandry? Don’t forget about him! A relation?

  23. Ray P Says:

    Ensign was Dominic’s rank before he began screwing his way to the top like Harry Flashman e.g. an adulterous affair with the wife of a rebellious Admiral in the Rebel Worlds.

    Aternate ending to Big: Elizabeth Perkins breaks Zoltar out of the arcade, then persuades him to lose the goatee and take up the cause of the Terran Empire.
