The second book has Mops and her small crew trying to figure out how to beat the Krakau and expose just what really happened on Earth to cause the plague. So the Pufferfish heads to Eath with some codes from allies and land on Earth to find that not every human turned into a brain eating Zombie and they have worked hard to preserve Earth’s culture and stay under the radar of the Krakau there in a secret lab. The overall story is good, and a new plot element is added at the end that will keep the readers wanting more. ( ) A beautifully written, occassionally humorous, fast paced adventure through space and back to zombie infested Earth to uncover the what-ever-it-is the Krakau are hiding. Characters evolve, Puffy the help widget gets a battle mop (!!), a Prodryan lawyer joins the crew, Wolf learns about skunks, and janitors get up to ingenious (and often amusing) shenanigans with cleaning supplies. I will never look at my cleaning agents or vacuum cleaner the same way again. A lovely sequel to Terminal Alliance. I'm surprised this series seems under the radar so far. What's not to like about warrior janitors? Throw all of the rules out and look at the situation with fresh eyes. Confronted with human soldiers intent on capturing her? First ask about a mutual friend... then warn that shooting would have them all be farted out of the hibernating creature they are inside of. You need to have read the first book in the series before embarking on this one, this just follows up on the first story and now Mops is determined to discover more about humanity's past and how it has got to where it is. She also has to deal with a lawyer, that might's exactly have humanity's best interest at heart and the fact that several people want her dead to keep their secrets, well, secret. There's character development (one of my favourite is her AI!), people having to deal with leadership roles being thrust at them and fighting Librarians. It's witty and fun and both myself and my husband read it. Despite me reading it first that didn't stop my husband from reading funny pieces out to me. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Human civilization didn't just fall. It was pushed. The Krakau came to Earth in the year 2104. By 2105, humanity had been reduced to shambling, feral monsters. In the Krakau's defense, it was an accident, and a century later, they did come back and try to fix us. Sort of. It's been four months since Marion 'Mops' Adamopoulos learned the truth of that accident. Four months since she and her team of hygiene and sanitation specialists stole the EMCS Pufferfish and stopped a bioterrorism attack against the Krakau homeworld. Four months since she set out to find proof of what really happened on Earth all those years ago. Between trying to protect their secrets and fighting the xenocidal Prodryans, who've been escalating their war against everyone who isn't Prodryan, the Krakau have their tentacles full. Mops' mission changes when she learns of a secret Krakau laboratory on Earth. A small group under command of Fleet Admiral Belle-Bonne Sage is working to create a new weapon, one that could bring victory over the Prodryans ... or drown the galaxy in chaos. To discover the truth, Mops and her rogue cleaning crew will have to do the one thing she fears most: return to Earth, a world overrun by feral apes, wild dogs, savage humans, and worse. (After all, the planet hasn't been cleaned in a century and a half!) What Mops finds in the filthy ruins of humanity could change everything, assuming she survives long enough to share it. Perhaps humanity isn't as dead as the galaxy thought."--Jacket flap. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
