Martha Wells' All Systems Red
I’d been meaning to read this for a while, but then it got nominated for a Hugo, which bumped it up the to-read list. This was actually a great time to read it, because three sequels are coming over the next six months. Anyway, it's a great sci fi tale narrated by a self-proclaimed Murderbot, who's hacked its systems so it has more autonomy (and can watch tv shows), and whose current job is as the security unit for a scientific expedition. And then things on said expedition start going wrong. The pacing and characterization here are both great, and I found the plot more satisfying than in a lot of novellas. I liked this a lot and look forward to seeing where the story goes next. A-.
I really enjoyed this one too, loved the voice of the "muderbot"
