Story
It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.

Great follow up to book 1

This helped explain the ending of book 1 and brought things to a more satisfying conclusion - looking forward to future adventures!

Story
All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Most of the story was great
Reviewed: 09-09-24
I really enjoyed most of the story and found it was interesting and well done. I didn't like the choice at the end of one of the characters but I'm trying to avoid spoilers from any specifics!

Excellent story but challenging performance
Reviewed: 12-02-22
I found the story exciting and the cliffhanger ending left me wanting to listen to book 2!
Unfortunately Kafer's performance felt very consistent and was hard to differentiate who was speaking when cutting between characters / logical scenes.

Great story. but volume was a little low
Reviewed: 08-11-22
I thought the story was great and the performance very good overall. However, I think the average column should have been higher, maybe the mastering would benefit from more compression. I turned my headphones volume way up, but then if I got a notification on my device that was uncomfortably loud.
