"I love Murderbot!" -Ann Leckie
The fourth and final part of the Murderbot Diaries series that began with All Systems Red.
Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right?
Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah-its former owner (protector? friend?)-submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit.
But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?
And what will become of it when it's caught?

"Emphatically fulfils expectations.This is space opera with wit and
intelligence, and it's thoroughly enjoyable." --Aurealis Praise for
The Murderbot Diaries series "I love Murderbot!" --Ann Leckie "The
Murderbot series is a heart-pounding thriller that never lets up,
but it's also one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've
ever read. Come for the gunfights on other planets, but stay for
the finely drawn portrait of a deadly robot whose smartass goodness
will give you hope for the future of humanity." --Annalee Newitz,
author of Autonomous "Clever, inventive, brutal when it needs to
be, and compassionate without ever being sentimental." --Kate
Elliott, author of the Spirit Walker trilogy "Endearing, funny,
action-packed, and murderous." --Kameron Hurley, author of The
Stars are Legion "Not only a fun, fast-paced space-thriller, but
also a sharp, sometimes moving character study that will resonate
with introverts even if they're not lethal AI machines." --Malka
Older, author of Infomocracy
"We are all a little bit Murderbot... we see ourselves in its skin.
And that reading about this sulky, soap-opera-loving cyborg killing
machine might be one of the most human experiences you can have in
sci-fi right now.."--NPR "Wells gives depth to a rousing but
basically familiar action plot by turning it into the vehicle by
which SecUnit engages with its own rigorously denied humanity."
--Publishers Weekly starred review "I already can't wait for the
next one." --The Verge "A great kick-off for a continuing series."
--Locus
