Book description
Rogue Protocol Review
You know that feeling when you're reluctantly drawn into a family drama you wanted nothing to do with? That's exactly how Murderbot feels about this whole GrayCris Corporation mess.
The case that was supposed to be straightforward has become a bureaucratic nightmare, and now the authorities are getting curious about SecUnit's mysterious absence. For anyone else, this might be annoying. For Murderbot, it's potentially catastrophic.
What makes this audiobook special isn't just Martha Wells' sharp writing - it's how the narrator captures Murderbot's distinctive voice. You can hear the exasperation, the reluctant concern, and the underlying vulnerability that makes this artificial being so human. When Murderbot says it would rather those questions "went away. for good," you know exactly what that means, and you're simultaneously horrified and oddly proud.
The beauty of this series lies in watching Murderbot evolve from a supposedly emotionless security unit into something that cares deeply about its humans, even while insisting it doesn't want to. The audiobook format brings this internal conflict to life in a way that makes you forget you're listening to a robot narrate its story.
Martha Wells has built something remarkable here - a science fiction thriller that's also a character study, wrapped in corporate espionage, featuring one of the most compelling protagonists in recent fiction. The production quality matches the writing, making this essential listening for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider trying to protect the people they... well, the people they're contractually obligated to keep safe.
Rogue Protocol delivers everything fans want while pushing Murderbot into even more dangerous territory.
