Network Effect

A full length novel for Murderbot! My main complaint through the novellas was that each story was just too short and finally I got an uninterrupted full length story to sit in MB's passenger seat. I love reading from MB's perspective, I love how we never leave its side and all the information we receive is coloured by its particular brand of paranoia. Of course it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

It's fun to see Murderbot grow as its own conscious entity and giving it a full novel to interact with some of its favorite humans (and its favorite ship) has done a lot to enhance the human element of their character. This is not the same Murderbot from All Systems Red, its growth has been subtle so far and in this novel we see how these new relationships have made their impact. But make no mistake, this story at its core is basically the Brave Little Toaster gets downright murderous. I eagerly await the next full length novel in this series, I am curious to see Murderbot evolve even further.
