by Martha Wells
This Murderbot novel takes place shortly after Network Effect and Murderbot and their crew are working to help the lost colonists get their shit together in the aftermath of the alien contamination. The crew is hoping to give the colonists legal ownership and control of their colony, as well as options for leaving the colony. Unfortunately, the Barish-Estranza corporation also wants to get their hands on the colony and rope the colonists into indentured servitude. Murderbot and their crew must out-maneuver Barish-Estranza and convince the colonists to trust them.
This one had more intrigue in addition to the action. We learn more about how corporations operate in this world, and it is not good. We also get to know more about ART and ART's people. Plus, Murderbot learns some important things about themself and what they want. Their development of personhood is so much fun to follow.
