Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment in Martha Wells's New York Times bestselling Murderbot Diaries series.
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.
Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back.
Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly-colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there’s an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can’t have the planet, they’re sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize.
But there’s something wrong with Murderbot; it isn’t running within normal operational parameters. ART’s crew and the humans from Preservation are doing everything they can to protect the colonists, but with Barish-Estranza’s SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, they’re going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what’s wrong with itself, and fast!
Yeah, this plan is... not going to work.

Loved the longer arch of the story a lot. Funny, witty, smart and action-packed.
Some stretches were a bit challenging for me to grasp so I had to re-read it several times. Could be that I had to deal with something challenging in the real life.
I will re-read the entire series again - at one point - and I'm already looking forward to reading this one.
3.5
a bit too long for my liking of murderbot stories. the middle especially felt like it dragged on forever. still, yet another wholesome murderbot story, this time with the return of ART!
This is probably my favorite Murderbot adventure yet - and that's saying something! I loved reconnecting (ha!) with old friends and getting to know new ones, and I appreciated getting a glimpse into a couple of different POVs as well.
More, please?
Enjoyable, but I got bogged down in the middle for a good while: I suspect I prefer this kind of story at novella length.
