Like its predecessors, Rogue Protocol is a tidy little story that entertains and raises some ethical/existential/philosophical questions. Of course, the little research team experiences some attempted murder, and Murderbot steps in to save them. Since they’re headed in the same direction, it wouldn’t hurt if it kept an eye out on them, right? (Again.) Upon arrival, Murderbot discovers a small research team, including the cheerful and innocent human-form bot Miki, is heading down to inspect the facility. Mensah, because darn, is it caring? Maybe.) With these goals in mind, Murderbot heads to Milu, the site of an abandoned terraforming facility, which Gra圜ris may have used as a cover for its real operation: recovering alien artifacts.
Murderbot wants to find enough evidence to redirect the spotlight back to Gra圜ris. Mensah’s rogue SecUnit AKA one Murderbot. The case against Gra圜ris (from All Systems Red) is running into trouble: they really, really want Dr. I had to withdraw back to my dark cubicle. – Readable, accessible, fitting writing style – Murderbot at its best and most sarcastic Spoiler warning for previous books, All Systems Red and Artificial Conditionĭescriptions of blood, violence and murder.
I can’t wait to read the next book, Exit Strategy, soon.Everything I love in a Murderbot: sarcasm, comfort binge-watching, some philosophical questions, and a lil bit of murder. If you’ve read the book you’ll know what I am referring to. The ending of this one hurt, but I think it was meant to end that way.
It even takes inspiration from its favorite show, Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon, when it comes to confronting foes. Murderbot has to do even more on-the-fly thinking and defending of itself (and a new group of humans) when things go awry. I love this character and am always rooting for it to succeed, even when I have no idea what’s going to happen. The voice is so unique and clever and I had to read several parts twice because the humor is so witty you almost don’t catch it.
Murderbot’s character again comes alive on the page. In reality, it understands very little about the complexities of this particular bot. A bot which it thinks it already knows enough about. I won’t reveal too much, but as with the previous book, Murderbot encounters a new kind of bot in this book that it has never interacted with before. The books chronicle Murderbot’s adventures as it were, each building on the next as it works to achieve its goal. With this particular series, it is vital to read the books in order to understand all that takes place in each subsequent book. Rogue Protocol is book three in The Murderbot Diaries series.
