About this ebook

Rogue Protocol is the third entry in Martha Wells's Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries.

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.

Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?

Sci-fi’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.

"I love Murderbot!"--New York Times bestselling author Ann Leckie

Ratings and reviews

These books are basically a string of novellas, like chapters in a larger book. I like each one but it kills me how much I'm paying to get the full book. It's like Ms Wells has brought back the serialized novel. But I love Murderbot. Also, I just noticed this is a haunted house story.

I read books 1,2 and this one being book 3. i stopped on page 155 of 160 to write this review, as i was getting too dispointed with the flaws in the narrative (yes, i know this is sci fi and i like sci fi alot) - here is the so called last straw... the passengers were not wearing suits while the bot tore from outside (vacume of space) thru several hatches until got into where humans were, and the humans did not die instantly? Book 1 was very good and showed how promissing the author is. But by book 3 I was regrettably disapointed. The over arching issue is that the hero (secunit) shows lots of human emotions and mental state (like fear and panic) yet the author spends no cycles going deep into why these models of human like emotions had developed. Variation on this issue is all over the story. One last request - please stop using the phrase backburnered it so many times, it gets stale. I think the auther has some promissing ideas and stories, but need some techi imaginative help.

This was the first Murderbot entry I was disappointed in. This novella feels like a cash grab. Evil company is bad and did evil thing exactly as expected. No mystery or depth, nothing new period
