Exit Strategy

De: Martha Wells

Narrado por: Kevin R. Free

The fourth and final part of the Murderbot Diaries series that began with All Systems Red. 

Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? 

Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah - its former owner (protector? friend?) - submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. 

But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught?

More, please.

Martha Wells and Kevin R. Free deliver a truly wonderful story. Murderbot is quietly awesome.

I just regret that it had to end.

the final installment is a bit on the short side. But it's worth it. The author doesn't waste your time with a bunch of fluffy or stupid situations that don't make any sense for the characters or locations there's no contrived reasons to extend it out that don't make any sense. It's a good end

Good Story + Union Actor = Awesome

This has been my favorite audio book series ever
Story is fun and original, and surprising Laugh-out-loud funny
Kevin R. Free does an Excellent job. Perfect voice for the main character; the guy is just a talent

One of my favorite series

As many reviewers have noted, the only downside of this series is that each title is so short, more of a novella. I saw one person complain that they didn't want to spend a whole credit on a five-hour book. But think of it this way: the enjoyment is so pure and concentrated that the pleasure-per-credit is not deleted in the least. So it was with great excitement that I got a pre-publication notice for book 5 recently and immediately preordered it. And it's going to be 12 hours long! I can't wait.

In the meantime, I got the entire series from my local library as print books, curious about how the stories read without the totally excellent narration from Kevin Free. The stories are just as good, but still, the narration in the audiobooks adds a whole other dimension of delightfully dry sarcasm.

Short and sweet

The murderbot books are short but the murderbot is an interesting character. Sometimes the author is heavy handed with one certain characteristic of the not that he would rather watch TV than do anything else, but I still found the books worth a listen
