I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.

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.

Drastic action it is, then.

High action, philosophical, fun

4 stars

Even better than a season of Sanctuary Moon.

An action packed page-turning novel that managed to fit in a pretty good whodunnit mystery, a big dose of humour along with some rather serious philosophical pondering on free will and the nature of ethics, all without slowing the pace down. I thought about calling this a rollercoaster, but it's more like being strapped to a high-speed rocket weaving through a star wars style asteroid field . It's totally unrealistic, and if you've read the book you'll understand why that's a compliment.
