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.

Rogue Protocol: A Sci-Fi Delight with Heart and Humor

4 stars

"Rogue Protocol" is the third entry in Martha Wells's remarkable series, The Murderbot Diaries. It stars our beloved human-like android, Murderbot, who keeps getting sucked into one adventure after another, despite its desire to be left alone, far away from humanity and small talk.

This instalment sees Murderbot investigating the supposedly abandoned Milu project, which it suspects GrayCris might be using as a front for illicit recovery operations involving alien remnants. As usual, Murderbot plans to handle this mission solo, but a group of humans in desperate need of help derails those plans, compelling our deeply introverted SecUnit to intervene.

Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?

I love the fast-paced plot, the endearing human side characters, and the sharp humour that permeates the series. There’s something especially entertaining about an AI making fun of how irritating humans can be. The more I read …

Too short to really count as a book

4 stars

The 3rd book isn't as funny as the former ones, but still very good. I love SecUnit, or Rin, as it calls itself in this book, with all the cave-ats I noted before. It seems to focus alot on humans (as it was conditioned to do so), but the thing is, what I like here is it's focus on me, the human. So I like the bot because it tries to be human: this says more about me than about any possible bots. And really, all three books feel like chapters in a large novel. Anyway, I'll get myself the next, last part of this series for sure.

first time listening to an audiobook from this series! it was very interesting to "read" it this way.
I love how murderbot just keeps evolving and getting frustrated with the humans he just can't avoid.

well, this was entertaining and short, like all of these books seem to be, I'll continue with the series!

Review of 'Rogue Protocol' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The third of the Murderbot Diaries books. This was also quite interesting with some neat new characters, particularly Miki. Though it didnt feel as good as ART, it was still a curious bot that helped grow Murderbot. Overall the story was fun, but lacked some of the clarity and intrigue of Artificial Condition. However, it does set the stage for future novels.
