Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries #4) by Martha Wells (Tor.com, 2018)

★★★★☆

Plotty things happen to Murderbot that force it to confront its previous team of human handlers. This entry felt like a strong resolution to the events of the first four novellas, and getting to see the way the humans interacted with Murderbot was moderately uplifting.

★★★★☆

A Murderbot entry with intrigue and horror on a creepy abandoned station. The Murderbot books are like bite-sized #relatable snark candy, and this entry was no different, except it had the welcome addition of Murderbot having to deal with their ~feelings~.

I said, “Consultant Rin has no additional intel,” because why should I do her work for her when I wasn’t even getting a hard currency card, am I right?
