3 stars for Rogue Protocol (Murderbot Diaries book 3) by Martha Wells.
When I borrowed Murderbot Diaries book 2 Artificial Condition and book 3 Rogue Protocol - on top of a few other books - from the library three weeks ago, I wasn't sure if I will have the time to read them all. But being overzealous with books that I rarely managed to secure, I decided to risk hauling the books home against my better judgement. Looking back, I cannot be more glad to have done just that. This post is proof that my weight-bearing risk has been worth it.
Once again, I have a great time with the rogue Murderbot, a heartless killing machine that is not so cold-blooded actually. It is in fact one of the most humane version of a nonhuman; it finds itself in moral dilemmas more often than not.
Rogue Protocol is about the investigation of the failed terraforming attempt at Milu and the possibility of dealing with alien remnants. The story is exciting and absorbing as much as it is funny and entertaining. But I do have one slight grievance against the storytelling, and that is, it gets too technical at some point, bad enough that I have issues visualizing the scenes in my mind's eyes. Well, I try solving it by reading the same passage or sentence a few times, and it works to some extent.
Regardless of the difficulties in transforming words into images, I am looking forward to my next library trip. Hopefully I will have good luck with procuring book 4 Exit Strategy.

@}--->>--->>-----
SciFi's favorite crabby A.I. is again on a mission. The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is.
And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.
Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a human-like android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.
