Rogue Protocol (#1,028) is the third entry in Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries. It's just as entertaining as the previous two novellas, and just as full of danger and ethical choices our AI SecUnit never thought it would have to make before it disabled the internal governor which compelled it to obey orders from humans without questions or thoughts.
Our Murderbot is still trying to track down the reasons behind the attacks on the survey crew in the first book, All Systems Red, and solve the mystery of why it apparently massacred a group of humans on a remote station. (See my posts of 9/16/2021 & 11/16/2021.) Was that an implanted suggestion, or did it really happen? Again, Murderbot is side-tracked by the humans on the transport unit it has stowed away on to reach its final destination. Despite itself and its best efforts, Murderbot comes to the rescue (Just barely!) once more.
I can't wait to find out what happens next to Murderbot, one of my favorite snarky characters!
