The million-copy, New York Times bestselling Murderbot series is back in another full-length novel adventure!

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.

If you've loved the previous Murderbot stories, you'll love this one too. Murderbot deals with trauma, squabbles with ART, and continues to try and keep its humans safe in-between freaking out and watching The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. Kevin R. Free nails the narration as always.

I truly hope there are more Murderbot stories brewing in the creative brain of Martha Wells.
The continuing adventures Murderbot is becoming an addiction and I have re-listened to them all, several times and this is a great addition to the series.
Is there going to be a compiled edition published with everything in chronological order? It gets a bit confusing sometimes, remembering which one comes after the previous one.
4 stars all round.

Murderbot, despite himself, strikes again!

Great narration of a good story. Murderbot still has it's characteristic snark, but is expanding its list of humans it likes.

An excellent addition to Murderbots story
