Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'

A very interesting novella by one of the most underrated authors of the genre. I have loved her fiction since the wonderful Books of the Raksura. However, All Systems Red is nothing like her fantasy. The story is told first person perspective, by Murderbot, a rogue construct, part bot and organic components who works as a SecUnit on contracts to protect humans. They have hacked its governor module so basically have free will, and yet continue to fulfill their contracts. On their current contract they have to protect a crew of survey scientists, risking that they find out they are hacked...

Enjoyed it, continuing with the sequels straight away.

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Goodreads'

Very quick read. It isn't just short, but also difficult to put down.
The story is pretty straight forward with a limit number of characters and no twists.
What I love about the story is the narrators voice, it is refreshingly different and something I can relate to.
You can think of the murderbot as Marvin's (from the Hitch Hiker's Guide) introvert brother.

Having read all 4 of these, I'll just say that they were a fun diversion. Super short, one could probably read them all in a day or 2.

Review of 'All Systems Red' on 'Storygraph'

Who doesn't like a bot/human hybrid construct with built-in weapons and a crippling case of social anxiety that just wants to be left alone to watch its soap operas, but has to pretend to be controlled by a cheapsake corporation or it'll be taken apart for parts? Unfortunately, Murderbot has caught The Feels for the latest batch of clients and has to save them from themselves and everyone else out to get them.

I love this series.

This book is about a security bot at a habit for a research mission to another planet.

It's amazing.

I dived into a coffee shop this morning because I couldn't put it down. I want more but the ending was so good.
