Rogue Protocol is an exhilarating blend of action and mystery that reminded a lot of what I loved in All Systems Red. We are introduced to Miki, an AI with an endearing and optimistic personality that serves as a fascinating foil to our cynical protagonist. I absolutely loved their interactions, which brought both humor and introspection, as Murderbot grapples with different models of human-AI relationships. Martha writes another thrilling follow up to the series while maintaining the witty narration I have come to love.
