SciFi’s favorite antisocial A.I. is again 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.
NOOOOOOO MIKI
Flight to London means more Murderbot. The high standard is maintained, the plot advances and fun reading was had. Caveats about pricing aside, again recommended.
2022 Re-read
Now, this I think I got more out of on the re-read than I did the first time. There was a sense of pathos, loss and innocence lost. I also picked up on the theme of Murderbot as patron saint of 'stupid humans determined to kill themselves' which I think I had missed before.
Again, astonishingly high standard and recommended.
As much as I love Murderbot, I think Miki stole the show - and even Murderbot would admit that.
I know I haven't written much of an in-depth review on any of the Murderbot Diaries, but mostly that's because I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said - you really should just go pick them up. Every time I finish one of these stories, I'm sad because I just plowed right through it and it was such an enjoyable read. Luckily, I have a few more to go!
