System Collapse

Everyone`s favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment in Martha Wells`s bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series. Am I making it worse? I think I`m making it worse. 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.
