All Systems Red by Martha Wells

4.5

“As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.” The first paragraph of All Systems Red hooks you right away and whisks you along a satisfyingly short science fiction story. Murderbot is an adorably awkward murderer who just wants to watch his soap operas and protect his humans. Well’s voice for MB is stellar, the writing is tight and solid, and leaves me wanting more in the world of The Murderbot Diaries! So much to explore, so much entertainment to watch, many more people to murder.
