Hugo award-winning author Hines returns to science fiction with the
second book of the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, featuring the
unlikely heroes that may just save the galaxy from a zombie plague.
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.
