I freaking love Murderbot. So. Much. I think I will need to own these books. I can see myself re-reading these as a comfort read. Artificial Condition is the second in the series and Rogue Protocol is the third. I read both of them in basically one sitting each. They’re like potato chip reads, but with so much more substance.
In Artificial Condition Murderbot is making it’s way away from the commercialized parts of the galaxy where it hopes it can fly under the radar a bit more. But it’s also trying to get to the place where it allegedly malfunctioned and murdered most of the humans under it’s care. Murderbot needs to know what really happened before the Company scrubbed its memory. En route they hitch a ride on a transport known as Art. Art is a massively powerful AI that is somehow just running this unmanned ship. With the help of it’s terrifying new friend Murderbot digs into it’s past, and somehow ends up helping another set of lunatic humans who won’t stop rushing into danger.
