The most-liked reviews on Hardcover (credited to their authors).
“It is cute to see more from ART/Peri and how humans interact with different kinds of bot. This did mostly feel like a mid chapter of a murderbot book, but hey why not! It's fun. ”
“This review is of the audiobook narrated by Kevin R. Free. Perihelion (aka ART) and crew embark on a vague, yet dangerous mission. This is really just a bit of character development than it is a proper short story. We're dropped into a mission without clear objectives and left without a proper resolution. Still, it was nice to get to know Peri/ART's crew and see their dynamic. Narration Now I know why so many people love Murderbot on audio! Free does a fantastic job reading, giving each just enough of a distinct voice to make it easy to tell who's speaking. I'll definitely be checking out …”
