The third and final dramatized audiobook of the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse follows a group of unlikely heroes trying to save the galaxy from a zombie plague.

Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos and her team were trained to clean spaceships. They were absolutely not trained to fight an interplanetary war with the xenocidal Prodryans or to make first contact with the Jynx, a race who might not be as primitive as they seem. But if there’s one lesson Mops and her crew have learned, it’s that things like “training” and “being remotely qualified” are overrated.

The war is escalating. (This might be Mops’ fault.) The survival of humanity—those few who weren’t turned to feral, shambling monsters by an alien plague—as well as the fate of all other non-Prodryans, will depend on what Captain Mops and the crew of the EDFS Pufferfish discover on the ringed planet of Tuxatl.

But the Jynx on Tuxatl are fighting a war of their own, and their world’s long-buried secrets could be more dangerous than the Prodryans.

To make matters worse, Mops is starting to feel a little feral herself…

Made me laugh, made me cry

Wow, that epilogue and then the author’s note at the end were an emotional roller coaster. Made me happy smile, made me cry. Well done!

Mops... I felt for her as she tried to keep doing her job right to the very end.
Advocate of Violence, also known as Kate, was a great character who kept the book interesting.
Marilyn Monroe did a great job when he stepped up.
Gabe and his spirit of exploration and wonder was a great counterpoint to the more traveled group.
There is a high pitched squeal for a short time in this book. It fits the moment that the characters are experiencing, but it can be a bit uncomfortable while wearing headphones. Just turn the volume down for a bit, it doesn't last long.

"All hands, prepare for.... something!"
"Could you be more specific?"
"Nope!" :-D

AWESOME SCI FI COMEDY

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny and touching at the same time. I'm looking for more books from this author.
