by Jim C. Hines
When the Krakau came to Earth there was a plague that hit the planet and left humanity decimated and intervention seems to help but humanity is regarded as mostly good for grunt work, like janitorial services, which is what Marion "Mops" Amdamopoulos does.

Hines’ second outing with the hero Janitors involves Mops and crew going back to Earth.

But, fortunately, it was listed in the Recom...
