The third thrilling book in the increasingly popular Murderbot Diaries, which began with All Systems Red. SciFi's favorite antisocial A.I. is back on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good. Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a human-like android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk. Read Rogue Protocol and find out why Hugo Award winner Ann Leckie wrote "I love Murderbot!"

      Murderbot is back! Luckily for listeners, so is the engaging Kevin R. Free. Though it would rather be alone watching its favorite serials, the rogue Security Unit AI finds itself protecting another batch of humans who are on an ill-fated mission while also attempting to do its own research into a nefarious corporation (and not get caught). Free rockets listeners through the action and ably delivers Murderbot's sarcasm and disdain for the humans. Free gives those pesky humans distinct voices, and listeners may wind up falling a little in love with his characterization of Miki, an innocent and endearing bot who wants to be Murderbot's friend. Free will have listeners feeling for Murderbot as it discovers that once you start caring about stuff, it's hard to stop. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

      Three books into the far-future Murderbot Diaries, the shakier pillars of Wells’s worldbuilding are showing cracks. Equipped with knowledge of its past—but lacking armor—the sentient Murderbot, calling itself Rin, turns its focus on GrayCris, the corporate baddie that has loomed over the saga. GrayCris is manifest only in contract minions and solicitors but has left one concrete locus to investigate: a derelict terraform facility that may have been used to recover alien artifacts. The facility has been reclaimed by new owners who are sending a team to assess it, giving Rin opportunity to infiltrate that team. The group includes “pet robot” Miki, a naïf who nonetheless comes in handy when, inevitably, the expedition goes apocalyptically wrong. A central proposition of Rin’s character is that it’s never been treated as a person, but throughout the books, humans have interacted with it appreciatively and respectfully. Also, GrayCris’s motives are annoyingly vague. Still, where the core question of Rin’s personhood is concerned, Wells once again knits combat, investigation, and rumination into a thoughtful, irresistible story. Agent: Jennifer Jackson, Donald Maass Literary.

      In this full-cast production, narrator David Cui Cui takes the role of antisocial SecUnit, Murderbot. Cui Cui never makes Murderbot sound robotic; in truth, its subtle sense of humor while on its self-directed mission sounds human. As the SecUnit searches for evidence of GreyCris Corporation's crimes on planet Milu, it tasks itself with protecting quiet-voiced Abene, portrayed by Julienne Irons, and her ever chirpy bot, Miki, performed by Natalie Van Sistine. Can the SecUnit protect Abene and Miki from GreyCris's vicious human agents, battle drones, and computers? Laser blasts and beeping lifts meld with Murderbot's internal dialogue. The steady narration makes for a thrilling space adventure. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
