On a rescue mission, Murderbot intends to find its clients and get away as quickly as possible. However, it does not anticipate the stupidly complicated transportation—or lack thereof—on the giant space torus nor being forced to promise to extract more humans than it had planned for. Humans make everything complicated.
As usual, Wells drops the reader into the story just after the beginning of the action, which hasn’t been as smooth in the last couple of books as it was at the beginning of the series, but the confusing bits are eventually explained. Then readers get to follow along with Murderbot’s mission while it is still adjusting to its new mental health module that asks it to check in with its emotions at inopportune times. The humor is as spot on as always, making me want to reread the journey so that it doesn’t have to end.
