Exit Strategy

This novella completes the original story arc: we rejoin the good guys and the bad guys from the beginning of the series ([b:All Systems Red 32758901 All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1) Martha Wells https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1631585309l/32758901.SY75.jpg 53349516]), and have a final confrontation.I like this story pretty well, although I think the fifth novella and the novel are even better. It's nice to get back to the original good guys, because they each have individual personalities—it's not deep characterization, but it's better than nothing. Whereas the other humans we bump into during this series tend to lack individuality and personality—the author is too busy focusing on Murderbot to give much attention to other characters.The first four Murderbot novellas could reasonably be put together and sold as one novel in four parts. However, there's plenty of room for the story to continue further, and of course it does.
