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.”

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.

Baen there, done that.

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

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

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

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.

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

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…

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!

Which makes Higgins the robot and TC and Rick newts?

Flandry’s baby arm makes his weapon look bigger.

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

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

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.
