Rogue Protocol

With this story, we leave introductions behind and make a start on some serious business; although this story can still be seen as a preparation for the next one.

Murderbot goes on a mission on its own initiative to gather evidence against GrayCris. During the mission, it gets involved with another group of vulnerable humans whom it feels obliged to protect.

I've come to the conclusion that this is the Murderbot story that I like least. The quality of writing is up to the usual standard, and the action is quite exciting, but the underlying plot is not very interesting, the human characters are just names, or little more than names, and there's less humour than usual.

I reread it only because it's part of the series, and another chunk of Murderbot's life. It's not a story that I actively enjoy.
