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

Honestly, it’s hard to find anything to dislike about the Murderbot books, except maybe that they’re not long enough and there aren’t enough of them!

Kevin R. Free does such a great job of narrating them, dropping in the asides and editorials that our favourite snarky android is famous. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing its internal dialogue.

Another great Murderbot adventure!

Amazing story. My favourite in the series so far and definitely the most edge-of-your-seat

My favourite instalment

Took me a chapter to get into it, but I loved this. I hope we get to see more of the rogues in future books.

Excellent Addition

This author needs to write longer books. I very much enjoyed everything she has written but feel short changed each time I listen to a book and finish it within 24h!

Looking forward to the next one… but please please make it longer!

Always a fun listen just annoyingly short

My only complaint is I wish it was longer :)
I love Murderbot and Kevin R. Free's narration.
