About this listen
I am the last freelance private investigator on earth.
My name is Zachary Nixon Johnson. The year is 2057, and after a handful of species-altering upheavals, Earth-shattering cataclysms, history-changing extraterrestrial contacts, and pop-culture disasters, the world is now a pretty safe place. But, of course, as in times past, people still run the shades-of-gray gamut from good to evil. There are still cops and robbers, saints and sinners, voters and politicians. And every once in a while some crazy thing happens that threatens all of society, all of humanity, even the entire space-time continuum.
And for some reason it always happens on my watch.
So when B. B. Starr, the ex-exotic dancer who is now the CEO of ExShell, the largest corporation on the planet, hires me for a particularly sensitive assignment, I naturally expect the worst. After all, B. B. Starr is one of the richest and most powerful people on Earth - why does she need me? But even with the help of HARV - my annoyingly precise holographic assistant, who's the most intelligent computer on Earth - implanted directly into my brain (don't ask), this assignment sounds like more than I can handle. For B. B. Starr wants me to locate and disable BB-2, an android replica of B. B. herself. An android with a plutonium core, 160 times stronger, 176 times more durable, 200 times faster, with senses far more acute, and a vastly higher IQ than normal carbon-based humans. How can I hope to find and deactivate a bad-attitude, hell-bent, nuclear-powered super android that looks like an exotic dancer and might even be smarter than HARV?
Performed by Nick DePinto, Nathanial Perry.

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.

Not bad
This was entertaining, not too heavy, had some humorous moments or two or three, and was fun to listen to. The performance was top notch but graphic audio always is.

Live this series
I first bought the graphic audio book when I was a truck driver, wore out the CDs. I love this entire series! I listen(ed) to them over and over,never get tired of them. Even though I know the outcome I love the humor between the characters. It makes you apart of the world.

Makes other audio books seem monotonous
Read the first two books of this series when i was still in high school and was an instant fan. Couldn't remember the name of the series until I found these audio books and i was blown away. Richard Rohan kills it as Zackary Nixon Johnson. He nails the tone of these Goofy lovable scifi nior stories and im hooked.

I ran out of nostalgia radio shows like Sam Spade.
I'm all out of Philip Marlow and The Shadow. But then I found these. They're not the same. But I like em'!
