Murderbot is back, Mensah is back, ART is back!! Side character wise though, this time we focus more on Mensah’s daughter Amena as well as Arada, Overse, Ratthi, and a new character Thiago. …granted while I have been a key factor in certain clusterfucks of giant proportions… Yes there is some background given but the reader would miss the entire ART storyline, and so many others, if they were to read this first and I highly do not recommend it. The first thing I want to point out is that while this advertises as a standalone, I truly do not think it would read well as a standalone. When Murderbot’s human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. “I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.”

You know that feeling when you’re at work, and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you’re a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction?Ĭome for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I. Rate & Recommend: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 yes yes yes all the yes.Publisher & Release: TorDotCom, May 2020.I decided to go with my first inclination and kill the shit out of some ass-faced hostiles instead – MB This was a point where if I were a human (ick) I might have laughed. I expected the book to be something different but it started right near the end of Exit Strategy and kept the story going, although in a new direction.

Not Network Effect, I LOVED Network Effect, but the franchise itself. man I have mixed thoughts about the franchise. That all said, I finally finished the full length novel and …. One of the reasons that I read so many this month was due to the Murderbot novellas – shorter, quick, four “books” for the time investment of one.

Hi friends! I normally don’t post every day but I am absolutely heck-bent on catching up with my book reviews.
