On the plus side, Murderbot is a great character, and it is good to have ART back. Pretty Good, but Downhill from the earlier stories I suggest check how Hard Luck Hank's voice evolved, It is worlds better now than it was in the first couple books. To Kevin, for the next novel If you could give ART the voice he deserves, (that I know you're looking for) Then I will gladly give your performance 5 stars. I did think the narrator did a great (4 star) job, just don't love (5 star) him. click on my name and you will see i give honest reviews good or bad. I absolutely guarantee this book is worth the credit.

There's som fun Col Joe/Skippy type stuff too to make you laugh along the way. After listening to it for hours it came to a climax and I said 'Man that was a great book', then I looked at my phone and there was still 7 hours left! What a bargain! It had been a long time since I listened to the other Murderbot stories so I wondered if I might have forgotten some important arcs, but that was not the case, this book could be a standalone. WOW, What a great ride! I haven't been this engrossed in a story since Red Rising. When Murderbot's human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90-plus percent of my problems are. You know that feeling when you’re at work and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot.Ĭome for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable AI you’ll listen to this century. Murderbot returns in its highly anticipated, first full-length stand-alone novel, Network Effect. Martha Wells' New York Times and USA Today best-selling Murderbot series exploded onto the scene in 2017, and the world has not been the same, since.
