The million-copy, New York Times bestselling Murderbot series is back in another full-length novel adventure!

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.

The 7th book in the series does well at adding depth to our main character. As a direct follow-up to the previous book, the setting is well established. While I still very much enjoyed the story and the reading of Kevin R. Free from the audio book version, I found the emotional struggles a bit over the top and annoying at times, but still very interesting and engaging to read. With the growing list of humans that are part of the story, I'm starting to struggle a bit keeping them apart. Getting a bit more focus back would be good for the story. While we do not learn much about the alien remnant in this book which would have been an exciting prospect as well, it's a fun energy to the series!
