This Murderbot novel finds Murderbot and their crew captured by a strange and hostile group of lost colonists who have also commandeered Murderbot's old friend, the transport ship ART. Murderbot must find a way to save their own crew, ART, and ART's crew, and figure out what is going on with the colonists and their planet. This one was very exciting and suspenseful. The plot has some cool turns and twists that I really enjoyed. It was also surprisingly heartwarming, because the secondary plot is about Murderbot realizing that they do in fact have friends and that those friends genuinely care about them. I think this realization is what helps Murderbot finally figure out what they want (or at least some of what they want).
