System Collapse by Martha Wells, 245 pages.
Murderbot is still stuck on the planet from Network Effect, trying to make sure the abandoned colonists don't end up scooped into de facto slavery or some other terrible corporate fate at the hands of the Barish-Estranza corporation. Unfortunately, it still hates planets, and the fact that it's still reeling from the traumatic events of the last book sure aren't helping. It has to find some way to get itself back under control, or a whole lot of humans are going to pay the price.
It was neat to get another story so quickly following the last one chronologically! I also really enjoyed the non-standard climax of this book, which ends not so much in a huge battle, but something more creative.
