One of my favorite series in the last few years. The tech side of things are believable enough (at least compared to the usual handwavy nature of sci-fi books) and now I understand why, as it seems Wells has a history in IT!

I'm struggling to not gush about this book and trying to avoid spoilers, but if you like a good sci-fi action/adventure book with a strong lean towards a journey of self discover it's really worth a read.

Seconded - I enjoyed the audiobooks for Murderbot by Graphic Audio. I originally found them on a torrent tracker when I was searching for something else, and after enjoying the free trial I bought the series through Graphic Audio's website.

I enjoyed the series for a while. But it was around about the detective mystery story one that I got bored and wandered off to read the Bobiverse books by Dennis Taylor.

I listened to the version narrated by Kevin R Free, which I enjoyed. It was my first experience with audiobooks so I don't have much to compare but I did read some reviews of the Graphic Audio versions which suggested they were not considered good by some listeners, even those that liked other productions from the same source.

I haven't read the stories for many years now but for some reason both I and my wife assumed the bot would look female, and both of us were independently surprised to learn that the protagonist was cast as male in the upcoming series.
