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?

The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Martha Wells and Kevin R. Free deliver a truly wonderful story. Murderbot is quietly awesome.

the final installment is a bit on the short side. But it's worth it. The author doesn't waste your time with a bunch of fluffy or stupid situations that don't make any sense for the characters or locations there's no contrived reasons to extend it out that don't make any sense. It's a good end

I just regret that it had to end.

As many reviewers have noted, the only downside of this series is that each title is so short, more of a novella. I saw one person complain that they didn't want to spend a whole credit on a five-hour book. But think of it this way: the enjoyment is so pure and concentrated that the pleasure-per-credit is not deleted in the least. So it was with great excitement that I got a pre-publication notice for book 5 recently and immediately preordered it. And it's going to be 12 hours long! I can't wait.

In the meantime, I got the entire series from my local library as print books, curious about how the stories read without the totally excellent narration from Kevin Free. The stories are just as good, but still, the narration in the audiobooks adds a whole other dimension of delightfully dry sarcasm.

One of my favorite series

The murderbot books are short but the murderbot is an interesting character. Sometimes the author is heavy handed with one certain characteristic of the not that he would rather watch TV than do anything else, but I still found the books worth a listen

Short and sweet
