Our take
Why choose this book?
Short does not have to mean slight. This opening Murderbot novella offers an immediate voice and a compact science-fiction adventure. Its anti-social security android is a good travelling companion for anyone who has ever wanted to ignore everyone around them and watch something instead.
Who it suits
Commuters who want a short speculative adventure with a dry, distinctive narrator.
Before you choose
There is action and violence. It starts a series, so it may leave a new reader looking for the next instalment.
