A most-anticipated title from USA Today, Goodreads, BookPage, BookRiot, Seattle Times, and The Nerd Daily!

Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment of Martha Wells' bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series.

Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good.

After volunteering to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realizes that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it doesn't know.

Including human children. Ugh.

This may well call for … eye contact!

(Emotion check: Oh, for f—)

“This spectacular journey, punctuated with satisfying combat scenes, takes on an epic flavor grounded by Murderbot’s sardonic voice and Wells' exploration of mental health and physical well-being. Equal parts action packed, humorous, and heartfelt, this proves the series shows no signs of slowing down.”—Publishers Weekly

What a Funtastic audiobook! Just fun, Fun, FUN! I loved every minute! Murderbot is on mission to rescue part of Dr Mensah's family little did Murderbot realize how difficult that would be for them! Dealing with human feelings, human emotions, and ummm yeah even eye contact. And surprisingly the mission got complicated when it realizes that instead of three people it needed to rescue a total of eight, and the other five were in another location! So eight people in two locations and some of 'em were children. Murderbot would have shuddered if it didn’t have the perfect control as Murderbot is a Sec'Unit Cyborg, plus Murderbot has the 'Walk Like a Human' program running... 😆! And wouldn't you know they're being chased by a Evil Corp. Also Murderbot had a secondary goal which was to give # 3, another 'him' to not only help accomplish the mission, but to also experience more freedom from the tyranny of the controllers! And ummm things get messy especially after # 3 releases other Sec'Unit from their controller...
So yeah AwesomeSauce grab the audiobook because Kevin R Free unleashes Murderbot with all their wry cynicism, don't forget to bring the media... Sanctuary Moon...

"Emotion check" Murderbot might need a therapist...

Another stressful adventure for murderbot. It's always complaining but at the same time you know it loves what it does. Also I got to learn what a Taurus structure was.

I listened to it twice!
