Story
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

Cole Riker is a Slip Runner. A contractor tasked with finding alien salvage in exchange for credits. For an ex-smuggler like Cole, there’s a catch: Don’t break the terms of parole. That means doing things by the book. Find salvage, turn it in, get paid. But everything changes when a retrieval mission lands him in a previously unknown sector. There, he finds the material he’s been sent to recover, along with something more. A brand-new form of ancient alien life.

Story
Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Publisher's Summary
The third thrilling book in the increasingly popular Murderbot Diaries, which began with All Systems Red.
Sci-fi's favorite antisocial AI 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.
Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.
Listen to Rogue Protocol and find out why Hugo Award winner Ann Leckie wrote, "I love Murderbot!"

Enjoyable but too short
As much as I enjoy these books, they are way too short. They should have been combined into a single novel. Yes, I chose to pay for them, but when I get to the end I'm just left feeling a bit ripped off. I can get an equally good book that lasts 25 + hours for the same price as a Murderbot book which is less than 4

Empty space station, combat bots, AI people
I'm really enjoying this series - this book lives up to the promise of the previous 2. A spare and simple writing style fits the character of the protagonist and still provides gripping action and visuals. What makes someone a person?

Well, that hurts.
I appreciated this novella a lot more the second time.
Excuse me while I go have an emotion.... or maybe I'll just re-watch the entirety of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon so I can put off feeling feelings.

Too short
It’s a great shame that murderbot is so addictive because the stories are too short. Poor value in quantity. Quality? Can’t argue with that.

Murderbot learns to “human”
A great insight into the consciousness of an AI who is wrestling with the most complex of human emotions including loyalty, betrayal and grief.
