Mops and her crew of space-janitors are dealing with a sanitation emergency aboard the starship Pufferfish when something takes out the entire rest of the crew. As the sole survivors of the attack (sort of), they must find out who attacked their ship, why, and what the grand plan is.

John Scalzi's Redshirts meets Tanya Huff's Confederation series in this light-hearted take on military science fiction.

4.5 stars as it did lag a bit in the middle.
