I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are. It calls itself Murderbot, but only when no-one can hear. It’s a private joke. Funny. It doesn’t care, it tells itself, and its attachment to the humans around it is merely professional obligation. It tries to never drop the F-bomb. “Friends.” Ugh. So, when its human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action. Drastic action it is, then. Another F-bomb. “Feelings.” Ugh. RUNNING TIME ➜ 13hrs. and 15mins. ©2020 Martha Wells (P)2020 Recorded Books
