After four novellas, Murderbot has returned for its first full-sized novel — remaining just as cranky, sentient, misanthropic and TV-obsessed as ever.
The name just rolls off the tongue, like a mascot for a sadistic intergalactic sports team. And if you've been reading author Martha Wells' award-winningnovellas, you have been cheering on the titular Murderbot from the sidelines for four, bite-sized adventures so far., is the first full-sized novel featuring our favorite cranky, cynical, sentient, artificially intelligent robot. For those unfamiliar, I'll give you a few minutes to catch up on the first four books.
... if the first books were episodes in a four-part TV miniseries, then 'Network Effect' is the feature-length movie with the bigger budget and scope, and it is no less enjoyable. So what's actually happening? Without spoiling too much: Murderbot and some of its current friends are quite suddenly captured and whisked across space. Figuring out who and why forms the meat of the plot, but the sudden realization that an old acquaintance might be responsible complicates things for Murderbot and the humans it is sworn to protect.
The good thing about being a construct is that I can have a dramatic emotional breakdown while still running my background search to find the drone key commands. I'd had a hit and a responding ping from the targetDrones right when Target One had called me boring. I sent the order to power down and they dropped to the deck with two loud thunks.
