Look...these are some short reviews for some short books. But the vibes remain spot on and that's all I'm looking for. This fourth novella of the episodic sci-fi adventure series Murderbot Diaries delivers exactly as all the others have. The dry sarcasm. The combined disdain for humanity and care/protection for certain individual humans. The action. The bite-sized amount of story arc and character development. It's all just so good. And this one in particular brings us back to the OG gang. Reunited! We watch Murderbot bring the info it gathered on GreyCris (and their nefarious plans) back to the team, and, of course, have to rescue some of them along the way. This was a fun, funzy, cozy, escapist read....and sets up for what I expect to be a culminating part of the story arc to date in the fifth (full length) installation.
