A most-anticipated title from USA Today, Goodreads, BookPage, BookRiot, Seattle Times, and The Nerd Daily!

Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment of Martha Wells' bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series.

Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good.

After volunteering to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realizes that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it doesn't know.

Including human children. Ugh.

This may well call for … eye contact!

(Emotion check: Oh, for f—)

“This spectacular journey, punctuated with satisfying combat scenes, takes on an epic flavor grounded by Murderbot’s sardonic voice and Wells' exploration of mental health and physical well-being. Equal parts action packed, humorous, and heartfelt, this proves the series shows no signs of slowing down.”—Publishers Weekly

I was really excited when I heard there was a new Murderbot book. This one is similar to the original four that started everything in that it is fairly short and covers a specific mission which is related to the last story and on this occasion is to recover members of Murderbot's clients family. It follows on immediately from the previous longer story. It is full of action and adventure and twists and turns. The world or Torus on which it takes place is almost a major character as it influences many of the scenes and dictates the way the action will take place. I could listen to these all day. There are so many possibilities in this world, I hope Martha continues to explore this sardonic Murderbot character.

Another great adventure

The worst thing about any Murderbot book is it coming to the end. As always, I enjoyed every second. Finished it and went back to the start and began again.

As always, perfection
