“Sci-fi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is back 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.”
This is the third novella in the Murderbot Diaries series. Right now there are four novellas released in this series with a full length novel planned for release in 2020. This was a fun installment in the Murderbot Diaries.
In this installment Murderbot heads to another planet to continue to try and build a case against the GrayCris Corporation. Along the way he ends up protecting another scientific minded group and fighting deadly combat robots.
This was an action-packed novella; lots of great fighting scenes. We also get to watch Murderbot learning to interact with humans as well as other bots. I am excited to see how this all comes together in the fourth book.
Overall this was a quick and entertaining read that I enjoyed. I definitely plan on continuing the series. I would recommend to those who enjoy science fiction about space travel and AI.
