Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading.
Synopsis from Goodreads...Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it’s caught?
Beginning: "When I got back to HaveRatton Station, a bunch of humans tried to kill me."
56: "I led us off the platform and down the ramp to the building's pods, using my code to delete us from the security cams."
Comments: Exit Strategy was a fantastic installment in the Murderbot Diaries series. It's one of my top favorite books by Martha Wells so far, and I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. What are you reading this week?

DeleteWriting from a robot's POV in the first person is a bold choice. It must have been hard to refrain from sounding too human and emotional, but at the same time be interesting to read.
ReplyDeleteActually thats where this series excels. Martha Wells nailed SecUnit's characterization. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI need to start in on that Martha Wells series soon. Thanks for sharing!

DeleteI am reading Dune right now. It is requiring lots of self-talk that I can read Sci-Fi and enjoy it.
