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

It’s a good fun time with murderbot again. Murderbot’s having a terrible time actually but that’s ok, I had a lot of fun while it was being terrible.

Is it the best murderbot? No, the actual plot was not my fabourite. Is it worth a read? Heck yes. I think there’s a lot set up here to be explore in future stories; this feels a bit more like a filler novella than something that moves the wider story on. Just sit back, enjoy the gratuitous violence, and try not have too many emotion checks.
