Rogue Protocol / Martha Wells

 

5 out of 5 stars

I hate caring about stuff. But apparently once you start, you can't just stop.

So very true, Murderbot! Our intrepid SecUnit is kept busy using its entertainment feed as a learning module, then building potentially sketchy battle plans. You know, like we all do. I feel even less qualified to understand other humans than Murderbot and I can't rewind my recording or subject it to further analysis. A real handicap, that.

Kevin R. Free does an excellent job of interpreting our paranoid, anxiety-ridden construct. He does a creditable job of the other characters as well—I always knew who was speaking and got a sense of who they were. I found that a slightly faster speed was quite acceptable without feeling rushed and without making the narrator sound like a chipmunk.

My first time listening to this volume and I am loving this audio revisiting of a beloved series.
