About this listen
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.

A fun story, not as much punch as the others
This is a great series, a fun take on future AI and what that means. If you are a fan this is another great installment, but read the others first.

Alien technology, robots and feelings
A bit short but classic internal murderbot dialogue and Ai/ Human moral dilemmas… looking forward to the next instalment

Loved it
I read all the books in this series and loved every one of them and this long awaited 8th book is best so far. I hope the Murderbot Series goes on and on. Kevin R Free narrates the series perfectly

My Sanctuary Moon
I have listened to this series almost as many times as Murderbot has watched The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon and it never gets old. Kevin R Free is the voice of Murderbot, no question. I love the world that Martha Wells has created and see a lot of parallels between our corporate culture and the fictional one of the books. I only hope if that is our future, then ART and Murderbot are there too.

Absolutely back on form
After the slightly meh feeling of Fugitive Telemetry, this story is back on form and then some. This instalment follows directly on from Network Effect, so much so that if you're kinda fuzzy on how that one ended, you'll need to recap.
Murderbot is under the weather. Hardly surprising really when you consider what happened in Network Effect. And that leads to doubts and worries - which isn't good for a security consultant construct. It doesn't help that they're all still dealing with the same planet, alien remnants and all.
It has more humans to look after. To have feelings and emotions about. I love how Martha Wells makes us think about ties and loyalty and accepting that others care under the guise of Murderbot's self-explorations. Don't worry - there's still plenty of the snark and cynicism which makes it such a perfect character.
By now, Kevin R Free is Murderbot. He inhabits the part, knowing when to add pauses, hesitations, and everything else that elevates the text into a performance.

Pretty good
Starts off slowly, but gets better. Not as good as previous ones in the series and it feels too short for a whole credit, but overall I enjoyed this. I hope there is more to come in this series.

Really good, again
I think I maybe would have preferred more action though.
What captivated me the most was the realistic portrayal of PTSD/ill mental health in that it colours your whole existence, makes you question your basic capabilities, takes a while to realise that you have a problem, what it is and to get help.
