    About this audiobook

    "I love Murderbot!" -Ann Leckie The fourth and final part of the Murderbot Diaries series that began with All Systems Red. Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah-its former owner (protector? friend?)-submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught?

      Engaging start to finish. The four parts make a nice story arc. But the real fun is getting to know and identify with our introverted sec-bot, who always rises to the occasion. And the fight scenes are convincingly done.

      An easy read, character(s) that you care about, dry humour, wit, and am engaging albeit weak story line.
      Loved it, smiled a lot...

      This one could be the nbed of a series. It continues a previous story, reuniting Murderbot with its first clients, Including Mensah and Ping Li and nemesis GrayCris. It also goes into a bit about what it means to "pass" as a human (augmented) and what autonomy and freedom mean. A bit longer than the others, lots of combat and fight scenes. Another satisfying read.
    • 5/5
      Martha Wells and Murderbot—-people I love. To be read, and cherished.

      Phenomenal. Love everything from the storyline, to the action to the narration
    • 4/5
      Nadia is a hitwoman, but not your average hitwoman. She is an ex-cop. After a series of events fires up her blood about the injustice of the law, she starts taking hits for criminals. While she claims she isn't a vigilante, she is perhaps only a step below that. With her partner, Jack, teaching her the ropes this time they are hunting together for a pro turned serial killer.This book was really good. It wasn't too dark but it had a serious tone to it. The beginning was a little hard to get through but I will definitly be looking for the sequel.
    • 3/5
      This starts well; fast action, credible and interesting heroine, orginal premise. I felt it lost pace in the middle - too much focus on demonstrating craft and not enough insight into what these kinds of folks are about. The last quarter of the book got things back on track.I know Armstrong can write. Parts of this book show her talent well. Perhaps what marred my enjoyment was my lack of sympathy for the laconic "Jack" character. Laconic is much hard to do attractively in a book than in a movie. I found his partly completed sentences and general reticence irritating. I enjoyed Nadia and found her compelling.I'm going to read the next in the series and see if things take off.
    • 5/5
      Interesting.
      Great pace and narrative. Overall a good story to listen to.

      Science Fiction
      Short Story
      Scribd Audio

      Finding out its first friend(?), Dr. Mensah was in trouble, Murderbot decided to help her. But why did it care, it wasn't supposed to care. Maybe it was because it believed its trip to the terraforming station was part of the reason she was in danger.

      Murderbot is a wonderful character, funny, and there are a lot of things that happen to it, or it says, that are very relatable. And human. The author has done a wonderful job of transforming this character from an uncaring robot to one who doesn't want to care but can't stop having those emotions.

      More pages of details could evolve Murderbot and all of the characters to a much deeper level and would earn it one more star. (Unrelated to my opinion of the book, is my dislike of the cost of this short story. While it's a great story, it is only 176ish pages long but worse, the ebook is priced at eleven dollars!!! Way too much for any ebook of that size. Thank goodness for Scribd or I would not have been reading these.)

      Bravo I say! Bravo!! A must read / listen too!
    • 4/5
      Very good ending to the collection. Some great fight scenes and true the punchy adventure we are used to. If youve read the last 3 you will certainly want to wrap it up with book 4.
    • 5/5
      I loved Murderbot in the first book of the series. The deeper I go, the more I appreciate his humor and quirky personality. I don’t want the series to end.
    • 4/5
      I'm not sure what took me so long to read this book. I love Kelley Armstrong. I've read everything except this series. It is wonderful. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book. Curious how many of the characters will be in the next book. I hope we'll see more Jack (I think we will). I also think we'll see Evelyn. I really didn't care for Quinn. Didn't see enough of Felix to comment. I'm sure the story will be great no matter who we see.
    • 4/5
      Re-read, enjoyed a lot, went out and grabbed the next in the series now that I knew it's out. It's not rocket science and it doesn't have the extra zing of the supernatural-based Women of the Otherworld series, but it's solid, pacey, readable, fun, and has a great lead character in Nadia Stafford.
    • 4/5
      This is a great, fast paced thriller with a fantastic heroine. I love Kelley Armstrong's novels and this is one of my favorites so far.
    • 5/5
      These books are so up my alley they lead to my front door! I just love them
    • 3/5
      Interesting premise, and makes a change from this author's earlier books about werewolves and witches. Hard to recommend wholeheartedly as it goes on a bit. The heroine is likeable, though you want to hit her over the head when she's being so obtuse about her mentor. The main issue is one of likelihood - it often feels a mite implausible.
    • 3/5
      Smooth writing, straightforward storytelling, lots of interaction between characters. The only other book that I have read by the same author is Bitten. As I read through this book, I can't help but notice a fair number of common elements. The heroin got drawn into a parallel life somewhat unwillingly and is mentored by a small group of seasoned practitioners while romantic tension developed among the main characters. The heroines in both books are constantly dealing with emotional baggages and rage. The actual story line of manhunt (or werewolf hunt in the case of Bitten) almost become a subplot amidst all the intertwined relationships among the characters. There were several action scenes that were quite intense. All in all an effortless entertaining read.
    • 5/5
      My all time favourite audiobook series, bar none. Loved it so much that I'm going to listen to them all over again.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic, fast-paced fun with a humorous and memorable protagonist.
    • 4/5
      I was suprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Though not especially original (old hitman turns serial killer, other hitmen try to kill him before he gives the profession a bad rep) I liked Nadia's personality and enjoyed spending time with the professionally paranoid and seeing them dance around becoming friends. The serial killer was not particularly interesting, as it should be, and our nefarious heroes carried the day (no real suspense there) This is the beginning of a series and I look forward to reading more.
