I glommed this entire series in the last couple of months and have zero regrets. Murderbot is exactly what I needed to start off my year.

This is the sixth, and newest, release in the Murderbot Diaries, which follows a rogue SecUnit’s adventures. This book was a return to the novella length page count and it was a quick, easy read. Murderbot is asked to help station security with an investigation of a dead human on Preservation Station. And despite its misgivings and the fact that it would rather be watching entertainment vids, the request is granted.

I can’t help but love the humor, amazing action scenes, and wonderful world-building. I wasn’t sure what to expect after the events of the last book. Before I read the blurb I did wonder if this next release would have Murderbot helping ART or back with his Preservation Station humans. Thankfully, we get a nice long look around Preservation Station. I think this was the exact right direction to take this series.

Murderbot is evolving and I enjoyed seeing it not being able to rely simply on hacking but having to think outside the box. I think it is starting to almost enjoy and find a bit of comfort in its relationships with the humans who readers first met in book one. These are Murderbot’s humans and it is their SecUnit, they make a good team.

Another fabulous book in a fabulous series. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Final grade- B+
