Sci-fi’s favorite antisocial A.I. 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.

Maybe too focussed on the action

4 stars

It started out as a page turner for me but lost a bit of steam during the various action scenes in the terraforming base. Not as thought-provoking as the previous installment and more action-oriented. We get to see a different human-bot relationship with Abene and Miki. I liked Miki, the naive robot, from the start. We also get to see another instance of GrayCris being ruthless. The ending is quite sad but leads to the finale of this story that the first four novellas cover.
