The follow-up to the hugely popular All Systems Red
It has a dark past -- one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot."
But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more.
Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.
What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks...

Uh! I love this character! This is the 2nd book in the murderbot books and the main character, who I realise now doesn't have a name (nor gender as it's a bot) is so fun to read.
The murderbot is so dry and grumpy and so different from previous characters I've read in sci-fi.
The first book definitely works as a stand alone, and although there's a self contained story in this second book, it definitely carries through a decent number of references to the earlier story that I'd not recommend reading this on it's own.
Since the books are only around 160 pages, I'm moving right on to the next installment and looking forward to it already.
Book 2 was very good. Engaging and fast. Loved ART. Robots interacting interests me more than j thought. Feeling bad for the Sexbots. Curious where book 3 will take me.
