Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4)Exit Strategy by Martha Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In a future space opera world, Murderbot is a robotic part human security unit (SecUnit) who is an efficient, emotionless hired guard/killer. He’s also, despite disavowing any emotion, loyal to Dr. Mensah and other human “clients,” who are equally loyal and affectionate to him(it?). In short he is more like a loving pet, say a pit bull/doberman mix who can hack computer systems and pass for a human. This is the fourth installment in the Murderbot Diaries. Like with the first one, which I reviewed here: All Systems Red I enjoyed the plausible technobabble and the cute denial Murderbot displays about his love for Dr. Mensah and her crew of humans. There’s not much substance, but it’s a short, fun read with plenty of action. I listened to the audiobook, which has a good reader.
