Another Murderbot adventure
4 stars
For the first half of the book I was a bit confused, perhaps because it is really a sequel/continuation of Network Effect (and it's been a while since I read that). In the end I did enjoy it, particularly the middle part, where Murderbot does something completely unmurdery to save the day.

@sohkamyung@bookwyrm.social I only saw that they were both in the "Secret projects" series, so I guess at this point I know less than you do. At least from the description there is not an obvious connection between them.

I recently listened to the first 3 books in this series back to back, and they certainly held my interest. On the other hand readers expecting things to be wrapped up after 3 books will be disappointed. Similarly, the first three books read more or less like one extended book.
