Publisher's summary

The third thrilling book in the increasingly popular Murderbot Diaries, which began with All Systems Red.

Sci-fi's favorite antisocial AI 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.

Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.

More Murderbot, Please!

I loved the further adventures of Buckaroo Murderbot! The story was engaging, the action heart-pounding, and the characters compelling. The narrator was spot-on as well. I am very much looking forward to the next book.

Still going strong!

This third installment of the Murderbot Diaries remains as compulsively readable as the two previous installments, but with perhaps a tighter plot and more action. Still loving these!

Great narrator

Wished it was longer! The narrator is very charming even though he's playing a murderbot as his character

So good!

Even though this series is overpriced for the short length, it is so good and worth it. Highly recommended. The reader does a great job of mixing reading methods for the internal bot thoughts vs the verbal statements it gives to other characters. And the endings, especially this one, are absolutely amazing.

Great books

I enjoyed them. It’s about a robot that looks human one that ends up being free. Every day adventures that the bot undeetakes. It’s not horrible like some of our movies now days. It’s good with good writing that pulls the reader in. I recommend all the books.
