Murderbot is back in the sixth volume of their fun and sarcastic adventures! Faced with an unexplained murder on Preservation Station, they have no choice but to form temporary (at least that's what they hope) alliances with the local authorities. The ones that would have put them in jail only months ago for their mere existence.
Being back in Martha Well's Murderbot universe feels just like coming home, or putting on a beloved cardigan. I know I'm safe in the shoes of this aro/ace, agender, opinionated cyborg - who would have thought? I only wish I'd read this volume closer to the others because they do follow each other and there are elements of the previous plots I'd already forgotten. But it didn't prevent me from enjoying myself! This series is definitely a highlight of the year for me.
