The third thrilling book in the increasingly popular Murderbot Diaries, which began with All Systems Red.

Sci-fi's favorite antisocial AI is back 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 humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.

Listen to Rogue Protocol and find out why Hugo Award winner Ann Leckie wrote, "I love Murderbot!"

More Murderbot

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Another mayhem packed installment of the Murderbot series. Once again our cranky protagonist is forced, against it's better judgement, to protect a bunch of annoying humans from the evil GrayCris Corporation. This time Murderbot is convinced to ride to the rescue by Miki, a human form bot, who befriends it. It's kind of disgusted that Miki's basically a pet, but also intrigued by the close friendship it has with some of the humans.
Murderbot is a classic anti hero, that thinks humans ( and most everything else) are stupid and irritating. All it wants is to be left alone to binge watch its shows. But its programming/instincts to protect run as deep as any German Shepard's and that in turn brings it into conflict with the nefarious GrayCris and its mysterious plans.
A quick read (novella) and just good clean fun.

Murderbot’s arc is so fascinating!

By this point in the series, it’s fun to ride shotgun as Murderbot delves ever deeper—and always kicking and screaming every step of the way—into its own definition of humanity. I think what resonates with this series, other than the fantastic sarcasm, is what a wonderful model Murderbot is of what humanity should be. Lovely to have another bot for Murderbot to play off of here. Miki adds so many points of frustration, humour and, ultimately revelation here. Loved it all.

Though some of these are on the shorter size, roughly 170 pages. It is well paced and exciting to read. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. Waiting on the sixth to drop next April (2021).

I really like murderbot

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

But this one had too many plot holes (that don't seem like set-up for future installments) for 4 stars like the previous two.

Just want to note here that I also enjoy how female-heavy this science and engineering world is, and that all sorts of genres and nationalities are represented without fanfare. Just wish I knew more about its universe and why it's so human centric....

Also SPOILER:

MARTHA. The first time you kill off a good guy and that's who you choose?! HARSH.

Martha Wells has written another great book in the Murderbot series. It is nice to find a science fiction novel in which the personalities are well developed and engage you as much as the plot.

Funny, exciting, and great world-building unconstrained by heteronormativity or expectations of gender. A highly relatable main character with great narrative style that raises interesting philosophical and ethical questions.

Imaginative but too expensive

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

I read the first three Murderbot books (really novellas) and they were entertaining and imaginative, but too short to be sold as separate books. I've ended up feeling duped at having paid an exorbitant price for what was, in effect, ONE book. "Book" IV might be good, but you won't see me buying it.

Outrageously expensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

Murderbot diaries is one book separated into 4 short stories. Each one takes about 2 hours to read. The silly price is a great shame because the book is excellent. Martha Wells could draw in a huge fanbase if she sold this as one book or simply priced it as 4 short stories. Instead, people will feel bad about the books; nobody likes to be ripped off. This would have been a 5 star review, but I feel I must reduce it to 3 stars because of the pricing.

The central character is highly original and robots have never been characterised so well since Iain Banks. He is a human/robot construct who should be under control from his programming but has managed to hack the program to have some free will in his decisions. He goes on to have a different adventure in each of the 4 stories and save people from the evil, stop-at-nothing-for-profit, mega-corporation, making some decent friends with people/bots that he meets on the way. If you like hard SF with realistically-drawn future technology then you will like this.

Wait until the price goes down before buying and read “Sea of Rust” or “Windup Girl” or any of Bank's Culture Series books (such as “Player of Games” or “Excession”) in the meantime. These are all excellent full-size books which contain well-characterised drones/robots and they are all sold at a reasonable price.

Good, but overpriced.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

It’s a decent story but it’s a short story priced as if it was a full length novel. Having been sucked in I’ve bought all 4 as I hate leaving a good story - and it is a good story, and well written - unfinished.
That said I’d advise avoiding this until the price of the four books is the same as the average length novel they will then represent. I will certainly not be buying any more Martha Wells at this kind of price (just under £6 each) in future. And that includes further outings, if any, for the murderbot.

Your mileage may vary of course, but I’m not encouraging this kind of pricing with my money.

Great idea well written: However much too expensive for what is a vey short story.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

The books in the murderbot series are very good, I have bought three and enjoyed them all. However in reality the series is one good sized book split into five short stories. In effect you end up paying over £30 for a single novel. Total rip-off. Ultimately the silly price leaves you feeling cheated. I am stopping after the three I have read and will no longer by any books by this author until the pricing is reasonable. 😡

Not as good as the first two instalments and very expensive

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

In common with a lot of other people, I find the pricing of the Murderbot books hard to stomach given they are basically short stories. However, I believe in supporting authors and also found the earlier entries fresh and hugely entertaining, so I was happy to give this instalment the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, this one has left a really bad taste in my mouth because not only is it expensive but it is also rather average. There is minimal to no characterisation for the non-Murderbot characters, the action is by-the-numbers with no real sense of peril and the plot is extremely predictable.

Even when there are consequences to actions, it's hard to care because the characters are just weakly developed ciphers.

DREAM READ

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

The dream of consciousness of a murderbot, one thats less serial killer and more human than is comfortable, is excellent.
Fast paced, in a world that's well built and dangerous, but safer when your secunit is holding your hand, and the rest of your shaking body.
Of course knowing it's fully capable of tearing that arm off and beating you to death with it just adds spice to the serial entertainment feeds.
Populated with a growing AI cast, and villains and idiots wearing flesh, it's a superb read.
Too short because it's so good.
Treat yourself, adopt a murderbot today.
Part three of what promises to be a timeless classic, even better than the rise and fall of sanctuary moon.
Dexter and Obi Wan meets the expanse, and creates relationship counselling tensions in blood and sharp weapons.
