Book description
You know that feeling when you're so done with people but your life keeps dragging you back into the chaos? Murderbot, the gloriously antisocial SecUnit at the heart of Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries, feels that way 24/7. And in Rogue Protocol, the third audiobook in this Hugo- and Nebula-winning masterpiece, he's back-more reluctantly than ever. The case against the monstrous GrayCris Corporation is falling apart, and suddenly, everyone is asking uncomfortable questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit actually came from. Murderbot's solution? Avoid the spotlight. Permanently. But as anyone who's ever tried to hide from their own chaotic life knows, that's impossible.
What makes this audiobook pure magic? It's the voice. You hear Murderbot's dry, sarcastic internal monologue exactly as he'd say it-full of "I am a heartless killing machine" justifications and panic over having to talk to humans. The narration captures his awkwardness, his deep love for soap operas, and his fierce, reluctant loyalty with perfect, relatable humor. You'll find yourself laughing at his internal eye-rolls while simultaneously wanting to give him a hug. As Ann Leckie (of Ancillary Justice fame) puts it: "I love Murderbot!" And you will too, instantly.
This isn't just another sci-fi adventure-it's a brilliantly funny, surprisingly tender story about finding connection when you'd rather be alone. The stakes feel real, the corporate villainy is chillingly plausible, and Murderbot's moral struggles (yes, even for a "heartless" machine) are utterly compelling. The audiobook format makes it impossible not to feel immersed in his world, his voice crackling with every sarcastic aside and quiet moment of vulnerability. Whether you've followed Murderbot since All Systems Red or are new to the series, Rogue Protocol delivers exactly what you crave: a smart, hilarious, and deeply human story wrapped in a gloriously awkward android. Don't just watch the show-listen to Murderbot's story. You won't regret the 15 minutes of your life you'll spend trying to stop the audiobook.
