SciFi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is again on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah’s SecUnit is.
And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.

Yet another re-read. This isn't my favourite in the series, I didn't find the story quite as enjoyable, and miss ART. However, Murderbot continues to be unacceptably relatable. "I needed to have an emotion in private." You and me both, Murderbot.
i think i need to go have an emotion in private now. #Justice4Miki
Murderbot continues to be the most relatable, charming, action-packed and yet still somehow emotionally poignant series of books about an exhausted ex-slave semi-cyborg who just wants to be left alone with its TV shows but keeps getting dragged into situations where the only good choice is to set aside its own comfort and put itself at risk to protect others... And if that doesn't have you interested in this series, man, i don't know what to say. (^_^)
This was my favorite Murderbot book so far. The fact that so many robot characters in this series are incredibly wholesome reminds me a lot of the video game Stray. It’s a refreshing change of pace from the terrifying stories where robots turn on the human race.
I can’t wait to read the next one!
Hey, just cos this one took me an extra day to read doesn't mean I liked it any less. Murderbot, keeps breaking my heart.
