In a distant future humans are being recovered and taught by an alien race, who then enlists them as recruits in their spaceships. Human Marion Adamopoulos (Mops) is a lieutenant in a spaceship called "Pufferfish" and is in charge of hygiene and sanitation. When a weird attack takes over the crew, Mops becomes the ship's captain.

This book was a brilliant surprise! It is captivating, all the characters are rounded up and the wittiness of dialogues and situations is just delicious. What a breath of fresh air this is from normal sci-fi! To be honest, I do believe janitors are more prepared to survive than anyone else out there... Specially if it involves clogging up commands from higher ranks.
