In Star Prince Charlie, co-authors Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson transport readers to the Hoka universe—a humorous, satirical setting where Earth's military and societal history is explored through the eyes of an alien race. The story follows Prince Charlie, a young human prince thrust into a galactic political struggle, navigating complex interplanetary politics and strange cultural misunderstandings. Blending space opera with wit and adventure, this novel offers both humor and a thought-provoking take on the absurdities of leadership and power.
