Terminal Alliance

Hines, Jim C.
Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse #1. When the Krakau command crew is wiped out Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos, Lt. boss of the Shipboard Hygiene and Sanitation team, takes over. Fun read!

Quote:

"...Stick to the plan."

"Krakau make plans," snorted Wolf. "Humans barge in and kick ass."

"Of those two species," said Mops, "Which still has a functional civilization?"

Quote:

Cook had done a nice job of repairing the damage to his restaurant. He'd also added a new sign to the door: "NO BOMBS ALLOWED".

Terminal Peace

Hines, Jim C.
Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse #3. Very fun read! I read the author's note (at the end) first, a bit of spoiler, but not a big deal. Very moving, though!!

Quote:

..."Nusurans are the only known race to have invented contraceptives before the wheel"... -- Did I read this one of the other books?

Quote:

"Are you out of your mind?"
"I don't understand the metaphor," said Johnny. "Krakau brains are internal, not external."

Quote:

"It's called checkers."

Quote:

"Second chances are for the weak."
He moved another piece. "King me."
"However, if that is your tradition..."

Quote:

"I once saw a young varkaw pick a fight with a boulder."
"Who won?"
"It was a draw."

Quote:

"It's probably examined your records as well."
"Our records are encrypted," said Kumar.
"It's a supercomputer the size of a moon," Monroe pointed out.

Quote:

"Jesus H. Christ on an Oreo cookie," yelled Gabe. "What the hell just happened?"{

Terminal Uprising

Hines, Jim C.
(Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse, #2). Mops and the crew head to Earth. Really an enjoyable read!

Quote:

"I read a lot," she preened. "Nusuran war romances, mostly."
Wolf cringed. It was a popular genre, but they all ended with overwritten cross-species sex scenes. Her mouth went dry as she realized Cuaxil might have another motive for chatting up a bored human.

Quote:

"...I've never fit in well with my peers. I find much more pleasure in arranging things so I can watch our enemies destroy themselves."
"Remind me to shoot you before this is over," Wolf snarled.

Quote:

"Different religions had different traditions and rituals and symbols. Stars, crosses, candles, an apple with a bit missing..."

Quote:

"Who are you?" she whispered. "What are you?"

Quote:

"What if we fire at it together?" suggested Melvil. "It can't shoot us all."
"I'm pretty sure it can."

Quote:

"Do you know what the Prodryans would do to this planet if we hadn't deterred them?"
Cate perked up. "I do."
