Publisher’s Summary

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!”

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “I love Murderbot!”
Once again, Murderbot is trying to find answers this time to help Dr. Mensah, if he can. But, his plans to lay low and escape notice while doing so, ends the moment that human lives are endangered…
As the title indicates this is part 3 and it’s part of an overall story ARC which will culminate in a final book… and I for one can hardly wait! In this and the last story Artificial Condition, our SecUnit (Murderbot) met a very special bot each different, and each having a very profound impact on Murderbot as he ponders "the sentient condition". Turning this kinda into coming of age story…
Kevin R Free gives a great performance as my favorite A.I.
So go ahead and add these 3 novellas to your library before the 4th book, Exit Strategy comes out!

PS. Good news. Book4 is scheduled for released in October, 2018!

4/5 stars — “Good story but feels unfinished “
Ending seemed a little abrupt – crashed into a deadline perhaps? I love the stories, but there was better character development in the first two novellas.

— Elle Emm, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “I’ve never identifed with a protagonist so much!”
I’ve never identifed with a protagonist so much!
I really like how she writes identity.
