"I love Murderbot!" Ann Leckie The fourth and final part of the Murderbot Diaries series that began with All Systems Red. Murderbot wasnt programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensahits former owner (protector? friend?)submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But whos going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when its caught? At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book number 4 in the series finally sees Murderbot reunited with Dr. Mensah and the Preservation Team. Their group dynamics are still complicated, and their shared history creates mixed emotions - and of course, Murderbot hates feeling emotions 😁. Another great installment, and another action-packed adventure!

When Murderbot‘s former client/friend/owner? gets kidnapped by GrayCris, it travels across the universe to rescue her.
In addition for berating itself for getting her kidnapped in the first place since it‘s trip to Milu was the fuse that set off GrayCris‘ desperate plan.
Finished 3/4/2022

The BEST of the series so far. Such a good time: great action and snark and wholesomeness as usual, and a particular series of events distinguishing it from the status quo of others in the series that really worked for me. On to the next!

Murderbot gets better with each story. This is another fast paced, fun adventure were Murderbot proves yet again why it is far better than any human, or any AI.

I really enjoyed having Murderbot and Dr. Mensah together again. This book had a great ending, but knowing there are two other books I'm excited to see what Murderbot gets involved in next.

Can‘t go wrong with the Sec-Unit! I love it (them?) sm. There are more books in the series - currently on hold at the library - but I think this was the last one Wells was involved in? Looking forward to the next book but also a bit apprehensive abt it… but so far, can‘t rly fault this series!

The best characters from the first book were back in this one, which was great. The plot, however, felt a little too similar to the plots of the earlier books.

In which Murderbot has a finally confrontation with GrayCris, we reunite with Mensa and her team, and unfettered capitalism continues to be the absolute worst!

An excellent conclusion to the series of novellas! Everything answered that I needed, reunions with my favorite side characters, breathless action scenes, character growth, and enough of an opening for the novel to do something new! The audiobook narration is also excellent! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Another action packed Murderbot novella. In this one, Murderbot is reunited with Dr. Mensah and her team. It has some really sweet, emotional moments (poor Murderbot), but also some great fight scenes. I‘m looking forward to the full-length novel next.

Read the final proof of my almost published magazine article then crushed Murderbot 3 & 4 while grocery shopping 🤖 these books are so satisfying! I love the action sequences but it‘s really about analyzing how evil corp. is going to be evil this time 😈 ordering takeout so I can read books 4.5 & 5 in the series tonight 📸 by Cara of Chickpea Magazine

I love how actually Dr Mensah and the others are better friends than Murderbot thinks they'll be, and then it has an emotion about it.

Question for others who have read this series—I saw that the next in publication order is the novel, Network Effect, but that the more recent Fugitive Telemetry is the next chronologically. Which should I read next?

RamsFan1963 I read Network Effect before Fugitive Telemetry. It was alright to me. 2y

Did I make myself a bowl of popcorn at 2am and pick up Exit Strategy?! 🍿 I did! Only excellent late night reading choices over here!
Loved this instalment as the original crew have a reunion of sorts, complete with sneaky manoeuvring and battle sequences worthy of MurderBots entertainment feed.

As usual, I loved it! Another strong addition to the series and it was better than the last book which felt like a bridge to this story. Murderbot was as anti-social and awkward as ever and I love Murderbot so so much 🥰 The last one of the novellas before a full novel. I will miss the small easy and quick novella but I will continue the journey. Highly recommended.

RainyDayReading I love Murderbot so much! Actually, it‘s probably better for you to read the newest novella(Fugitive Telemetry) before the novel. Chronologically, Fugitive Telemetry takes place directly after the events in Exit Strategy but before Network Effect. You could still read the novel before it if you want, but just know that the new novella refers to events that occur prior to the novel. 2y
Jgotham @RainyDayReading oh that‘s good to know! I‘ll do that 2y

I love Murderbot because it struggles to deal with things humans experience every day. It brings to light all the little stresses that add up over time and begin to compromise the way we think. But not only that, Murderbot reinforces the theme that it‘s ok to feel different. Complex feelings, awkward encounters, and sarcastic humor included. #scifi #novella

The 4th novella wraps up the storyline covered in the 1st 3 books. The original crew is back & for that reason, it's one of my favorites so far. Dr. Mensah is being held hostage by the GrayCris company & Murderbot is on a mission to rescue her. I loved seeing Murderbot pushed farther out of its comfort zone as the story unfolds. The sarcasm & unwavering love for the serial Sanctuary Moon is always topnotch and this one does not disappoint.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another fun Murderbot adventure finished. I think this one is my favorite so far. I like how he had to confront his past from the first book, and how he grows more as a "person" in each new story. 4???? 1/2

Lizpixie It‘s funny how individual views govern what we read, I read Murderbot as a her🤖💗 2y
RamsFan1963 I don't suppose gender matters, being male I would think of a security device as masculine. Also, the audiobooks are narrated by a man so that influences me too. 2y

I basically listened to the first 5 of these in like a week. I tried to convince myself to slow down, but that didn't work. Good news is my #audiostitching is going faster than normal. The #audiobook is great.

She was looking at my face, and suddenly I couldn‘t look at hers anymore. She said, “Yes. I handled the situation very badly. I apologize.”
“Okay.” I was definitely going to need to just stand here and stare at a wall. ART and Tapan had both apologized to me, so it wasn‘t like it had never happened before, but I still had no idea how to respond.” #QuotsyMay21

Another solid Murderbot story. I enjoyed Exit Strategy more so than that last book, I think because Murderbot is back with the original crew. I'm loving my journey with Murderbot and their journey of self discovery and annoying emotions. I'm looking forward to reading a full length novel with Network Effect soon.

Just finishing my re-read of the original 4 novellas and the ending is just as action packed, heart wrenching, and explosive as I remember. Now onto the full length novel! I so love sarcastic Murderbot who can look at humans objectively, but yet catches these things called emotions that still throw it for a loop when they come.

4/5 for this one! I loved getting to see more of Dr Mensah in this one. There was lots of drama in this one. Murderbot has all the dirt on GrayCris! I cannot wait to read the novel next! I really enjoyed this one. Murderbot is still just awesome.
