All Hail Murderbot
All Systems Red by Martha Wells
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fun sci fi read about a security robot assigned to a team of scientists exploring a planet but who really just wants to be left alone to watch its media in peace. The SecUnit has hacked its own governor module and is thus no longer under anyone's control. It calls itself Murderbot, though not out loud, as its mysterious past involves killing many people. Murderbot is a fun, interesting character amidst a good story with mystery and surprises.
Artificial Condition by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The second Murderbot novel finds the free SecUnit exploring his mysterious past. I found this one even stronger than the first, probably because of the mystery elements. Murderbot continues to be a fascinating character that this novel develops more fully.
