Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 A mosaic novel is a novel where individual chapters or short stories share a common setting or set of characters with the aim of telling a linear story from beginning to end, with the individual chapters, however, refracting a plurality of viewpoints and styles. Examples of mosaic novels as opposed to short story collections set in a shared universe would be the Wild Cards series begun by George R. R. Martin and the Thieves World series of Robert Lynn Asprin and others. Thieves World overtly used and may have coined the term mosaic novel for this practice of sharing a world and vision amongst several authors.

ref improve date August 2010 Willard J. Phule is the name of the fictional main character in a series of books by Robert Asprin , beginning with Phule s Company , the most recent being Phule s Errand . Willard J. Phule is the super rich heir apparent of Phule Proof Munitions, currently serving in the Space Legion . His Legion name is Jester, and holds the rank of Captain, being addressed thus as Captain Jester, and occasionally and inappropriately as Captain Phule or Captain Clown. Originally his legion name was Lieutenant Scaramouche promoted after incident in the first book and then referred to as Captain incorrectly in following books , but after being court martialed for ordering the strafing of a peace conference, Captain Jester is shipped off to command the Omega Company, a dumping ground for the Legion s foul ups and misfits. Applying his business sense and wealth to the running of the unit, he soon turns it around, winning the almost fanatical loyalty of his troops and turning the Omega Mob , as it is affectionately nicknamed, into a crack unit. Phule is a strong willed individual, with a strong dislike for stereotyping, and not infrequently finds himself in conflict with other authority figures such as his father. Although of a wealthy background, he takes pride that his own fortune is largely self made although he started his business empire with a loan from his father, that loan was swiftly repaid. He is also very loyal to his people, going far above what officers would normally do for their soldiers and reacting aggressively to insults towards them. However, Phule can be over industrious he has been known to work himself to the point of exhaustion. Phule is the lead character in six novels, to date.
