From the Publisher:

Mac Gimbensky is an eight-hundred-pound gorilla who’s been there, done that, and laughed it off. He’s fussy, cranky, witty, and the single best mechanic around. Fixing space fighters is his passion and his art. The last thing he needs is a cadet nipping at his heels. But that’s exactly what he’s about to get.

So Mac and Robin get off to a shaky start. But after they survive their first day together on the gigantic flagship Fist of Earth, they become fast friends. Together, the unlikely duo maintains fighter craft for the all-female Barbarian Squadron, which constantly competes against the Fist’s other fighter jocks. Robin’s looking for romance, and far from sure that he knows what he’s doing. Mac’s already found it, but a universe of obstacles stands in his way. And on top of this, a by-the-book efficiency expert seems determined to organize their whole lives out of existence…

On behalf of all of us, Mac and Robin defy the rules, strike out on their own path, and poke holes in the big balloon of life. Occasionally, they even get to enjoy it.
