All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements, where you’re restricted to 2,000 calories of badly flavored soy every day. You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented - something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past.

Publisher's Summary
Scarred by war, in pursuit of truth.
Army veteran True Brighton left the service when the development of robotic helicopters made her training as a pilot obsolete. Now she works at Requisite Operations, a private military company established by friend and former Special Ops soldier Lincoln Han. ReqOp has embraced the new technologies. Robotics, big data, and artificial intelligence are all tools used to augment the skills of veteran warfighters-for-hire. But the tragedy of war is still measured in human casualties, and when True makes a chance discovery during a rescue mission, old wounds are ripped open. She's left questioning what she knows of the past and resolves to pursue the truth, whatever the cost.
The Last Good Man is a powerful, complex, and very human tale.

Leaves you with something to think about
The Audible version of this book is well done. I found only one we error in the narration. The characters were developed slowly and believable.
A near future war novel that leaves the reader to ponder the future of warfare and mankind's ability to maintain peaae

Started off very good, ended weak
Well, the story started very well. good plot and character development. However, once the main plot "driver" was revealed, I really lost interest and struggled to finish the book. The plot "driver" just did not do justice to why certain events happened. One last note, for those listeners over 50 years of age, believe it or not, but this book reminds me a lot of the 1984 Tom Selleck movie "Runaway".

Awful
This is a very badly written book and very boring. Full of cliche and for such a thin narrative, very slow.
