All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries
by Martha Wells
SF. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure," confesses the AI narrator of this fast-paced SF adventure.

All Systems Red's snarky protagonist and suspenseful, action-packed plot should have readers eagerly anticipating future installments of the Murderbot Diaries.
