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!

"...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?"

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".
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!!

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

"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.

"...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.

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