Another one I should have written at once!
You really have to listen to book 1 first!
Ok, so, what can I say that is not a total spoiler. Earth is overrun by ferals because some stupid aliens messed up. And now they cure humans and use them as super soldiers. In comes janitors who take over a ship and, well things happened, and now they are on their way to earth.
It's quite the crew and are they the best? Eh, no not really, but they know what they know and they do it their way. With humour and lots of shenanigans.
Was it Hines funny? In a way yes, but it was also different from his other works. Not as light. It is also not the best book to be listening to when you are really tired. Poor book. So even though I enjoyed it, it also made me fall asleep
I enjoyed it, and at the same time it I could not keep my attention on it. So I am torn
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. 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.
It made you fall asleep? lol The premise sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI was reading while I was putting S to bed, so dark room, silence, late
DeleteAh yes complicated for you. I heard about this author
ReplyDeleteHe is great though!
DeleteJanitors of the apocalypse...that made me laugh :-)
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's worth
It is great weird, if you can say that
DeleteI haven't tried Jim Hines yet but I've kinda wanted to.
ReplyDeleteHis goblin books are a treat
DeleteOh, I've had this series on my TBR for a while. Tantor does the audio, eh? (I can totally tell from the cover, lol) Good to know if I ever want to try :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Omg yes, dreadful
DeleteI liked this one. I'm glad we got the follow up from the first book and kind of put things "right," but left room for more, if the author chooses. But the first one was better.
ReplyDeleteI did like that one more, I also think audio this time wasn't for me. I can't blame it all on late night and darkness
DeleteSo it was likeable, but not riveting. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to pick up a sci-fi soon. It's been a while.
Yup!
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed this even though it made you fall asleep lol
ReplyDeleteWell to be honest, most do when I listen at that time
Deleteeeee ya sleeping is never a good sign.
ReplyDeleteIt depends, at that time most may do it, but some do it fast
DeleteGlad to hear there were some funny bits despite this not being the most exciting read. :)
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI haven't tried this author before. It sounds interesting.
