Description
Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment of Martha Wells' bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series.
Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good.
After volunteering to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realizes that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it doesn't know.
Including human children. Ugh.
This may well call for... eye contact!

Low-key stakes, maximum Murderbot vibes Platform Decay once again proves that Martha Wells could make Murderbot do something mundane for 250 pages, and I'd still read and enjoy it. This novella isn’t high-stakes or earth-shattering, and honestly? I didn’t mind one bit. Spending time in Murderbot’s head is the whole appeal — the dry humor, the reluctant care, the constant analysis of human weirdness. What really struck me is how vulnerable Murderbot feels despite being the most heavily armored, heavily armed being in any given room. Wells does such a good job making that contrast feel natural — this balance of soft, anxious interiority wrapped in indestructible metal (although there is a good portion of....costume change...in this novel). The story itself is quieter: more observation, more relationship dynamics, more internal processing than explosive action. And it works. I was fully hooked, simply because time with Murderbot is time well spent, even when the stakes are small and the character growth is incremental rather than colossal. 4.5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @torbooks for the eARC! #PlatformDecay #Murderbot #Netgalley
✨Sci-Fi Highlight✨
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ich liebe Murderbot einfach! Es macht so einen Spaß zu sehen wie Murderbot immer mehr Beziehungen aufbaut und besser im Umgang mit Menschen wird. Auch wenn Menschen weiterhin unangenehm und unlogisch sind, mit Ausnahme von Murderbots Menschen. Hoffentlich kommen noch sehr viel mehr Bücher der Reihe!
