The third and final book 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…

Mops and the crew are off to a mystery planet to determine why their enemies, the Prodyans, are so afraid of its inhabitants that they keep the planet blockaded.  With the war escalating and the alliance falling apart, time is running out to win this war or see the whole universe taken over by the Prodyans.  Landing on the planet Mops and the crew find a race called the Jynx who are involved in a war of their own and an overall, multi-generational plan that might be more dangerous to everyone than the current war is. To complicate matters Mops is starting to lose control and revert to her feral state.

After a long, and understandable, gap we have the conclusion of Mops and her crew’s adventures.  It was worth the wait.  I enjoyed the whole trilogy and this was a satisfying conclusion for a crew of varied individuals (human and alien) that I grew quite fond of. Highly recommended. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
