The Dust of Kaku

Space Janitor, Book Two

By: Julia Huni

Narrated by: Kaitlin Bellamy

They say you can never go home. But you can clean it.

Triana Moore, maintenance bot technician on Station Kelly-Kornienko, prefers life in orbit where the air is purified, the commute is short, and nature doesn’t get all over you. But when a minor infraction gets her sent to remedial training dirtside, she doesn’t complain. Who wouldn’t enjoy a few days of sitting in the sunshine, eating gourmet burgers, and drinking too much Jager Hula?

When an unscheduled beach weekend uncovers dangerous squatters in her childhood home, the space janitor decides to clean house. She enlists the help of her roommate, Kara, and security agent Ty O’Neill. As they investigate, old friends resurface in suspicious circumstances, and Triana doesn’t know whom she can trust. She’s scheduled to work on Monday, so she must answer these questions before the weekend is over: Who are these infiltrators? What do they want? And when will that pizza finally be delivered?

Read way too fast and plot more silly than necessary

The narrator was the same as the last book but read this one at far too fast a pace. We had to slow it down to .8 to understand her words when we usually listen at 1.1-1.2x. Her accents were strange and the Southern accent bled into the main character far too often.

The story in book 1 was clever, entertaining, and unique. This one had the main character dumbed down from
Book 1 and constantly making stupid choices and whining about everything.
