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.

Murhabotti alisuorittaa

3 stars

Suoraa jatkoa Network Effectille, jossa Murhabotti ihmisineen selvitteli siirtokunnan asioita planeetan pinnalla.

Toinen yhtiö ei vaan luovuta vaan haluaa kaikki asukkaat orjatyöläisiksi, mitä Murhabotin ihmiset haluavat estää. Siirtokunnan historiasta selviää uusia asioita ja täytyy lähteä tuntematonta kohti. Murhabotti itse ei ole oikein kunnossa.

Kirja lähti liikkeelle melko täysillä ja selittelemättä. Oli niin paljon erilaisia tunneleita ja hangaareja että vähän jo eksyin niihin. Ehkä ei ihan paras sarjassa.

A great tale from Martha Wells

5 stars

Yet another excellent, fun, action packed, deeply thought provoking and funny story about everyone's favourite SecUnit.

I knew I would love this book, I knew it would draw me in, I knew it would make me laugh and I knew it would make me think - so I bought it as soon as I possibly could, then saved it. Sure enough life hit a rough patch and I started reading this. SecUnit watches Media to help him cope with a overload induced shutdown. I read for the same reasons - it helps.

If you know this series you know what to expect. This one has a lot of really, really well written character development (SecUnit has been through a lot). It also has a lot of ART, which I love.

No spoilers - but the ending is just absolutely right.

This is just a great series

Review of 'System Collapse'

5 stars

System Collapse is the direct sequel to Network Effect (Book 5), therefore, it is highly recommended to review it prior to diving into this one. There is no introductory summary, and initially there are characters aplenty that would make you feel confused if you've totally forgotten the previous story.

Murderbot is having more feels, even if it doesn't like it. It continues bonding with more humans, and consuming digital media on the side to help it cope with everything going on. We still see it analyzing and overcoming the many situations it gets into (or rather dragged into by its humans), but it is struggling as it bears the weight of the recent events. This new story has a more introspect and trauma-overcoming tone compared to Fugitive Telemetry's murder mystery and the action-focused Network Effect, but the action scenes are still there and still great.

The series has been relatable …
