System Collapse (The Murderbot Diaries, 7)
A New York Times, Washington Post, and USA Today bestseller.
Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment in Martha Wells's bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series.
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.
Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has sent rescue ships to a newly-colonized planet in peril, as well as additional SecUnits. But if there’s an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to find it, and if Barish-Estranza can’t have the planet, they’re sure as hell not leaving without something. If that something just happens to be an entire colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize.
But there’s something wrong with Murderbot; it isn’t running within normal operational parameters. ART’s crew and the humans from Preservation are doing everything they can to protect the colonists, but with Barish-Estranza’s SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, they’re going to have to hope Murderbot figures out what’s wrong with itself, and fast!
Yeah, this plan is... not going to work.

Murderbot is broken. Being part human, he's feeling the suckiness that is having emotions and being human. Book 7 starts immediately after book 6, and Murderbot has had an...episode? A redacted episode that's making his humans worry.
I'll admit that the first half made me worry. Where was our Murderbot? Why was there so much talking and so little action? But the more I thought about it, I really did appreciate and enjoy this. Murderbot does bring light on mental health, and we still get the action and heroics we love.
This didn't disappoint. Thank you, #marthawells
