About the Book

The adventure begun in Corey Naylor – Space Janitor concludes here.

Corey Naylor has one mop, one suspicious organism and one very bad idea.

The pirates control the bridge, hold the captain and are loading the ship’s most valuable hostages into a detachable luxury module.

Unfortunately for them, Corey has just been given an official job title.

Emergency Spill Response.

Corey is still only a janitor. He has no military training. His immediate backup consists of an injured security officer, a damaged cleaning drone and an unidentified organism recovered from a diplomatic toilet.

What he does have is the service staff.

With Lieutenant Marra Vey and Chief Steward Pell, Corey turns the parts of the ship nobody important notices into a resistance network. Laundry chutes become escape routes. Heated towels become sensor ghosts. Diplomatic formalwear becomes a tactical hazard. Catering software develops strong opinions about armed intruders.

But the pirates are no longer merely stealing cargo.

They intend to cut a self-contained hostage vessel out of the Radiant Accord, take everyone they consider valuable and leave everyone else sealed inside a silenced, helpless ship.

Stopping them will require every forgotten fault, closed maintenance ticket and badly repaired service system Corey knows.

It will also require Gloop.

And possibly a mop.

Perfect for readers who enjoy warm, fast-moving comic science fiction, unlikely heroes, workplace absurdity, practical problem-solving and high-stakes adventures powered by very ordinary equipment.

The pirates prepared for security officers, command codes and organised resistance.

They did not prepare for service disruption with objectives

About the Author

Nole Moody is a software engineer who has spent much of his life thinking about schools, children, authority, and the strange ways adults try to help.

As a child, he was not always an easy pupil. He grew up in a home shaped in part by his father’s PTSD, and the usual school punishments never carried quite the weight adults seemed to expect. What he needed, though he would not have had the language for it then, were adults with steadiness, clarity, patience, and the courage to see difficult children as more than the trouble they caused.

When he was older, he wanted to become that kind of teacher himself: firm, fair, protective, and useful in the mould of Mr. Gorzug. Life took him elsewhere, into software rather than classrooms, but that version of him found another route onto the page.

These books are, in part, his way of letting that teacher exist.

He hopes you enjoy them.
