The million-copy, New York Times bestselling Murderbot series is back in another full-length novel adventure!

Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.

Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back.

Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there's an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can't have the planet, they're sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize.

But there's something wrong with Murderbot; it isn't running within normal operational parameters. ART's crew and the humans from Preservation are doing everything they can to protect the colonists, but with Barish-Estranza's SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, they're going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what's wrong with itself, and fast!

Yeah, this plan is... not going to work.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Not as good as the last couple, but still a great read. Love this world and the Murderbot character.

I love this book, though I wish the narrator didn't make our newest crew member sound like that. he sounds like what I do when I try to pretend to sound like a man.

a great continuation

Even Murderbots get exhausted. But with new friends and civilians to protect and help from old friends things can still work out.

I love all of Martha Wells’ books. But Murderbot and Cloud are probably my favorite characters.

I hope there will be more!

Different but still great!

No one knows the real Murderbot. Not even Murderbot. Nevertheless, we are learning more and more who Murderbot is or wants to be or thinks it wants to be or is confused about what it thinks that it wants to be.

Who is the "real" Murderbot?
