Network Effect

''I’d already had FacilitySys prepare a translation for me, the only sentence I figured I’d need. I said, “Make a noise, and everybody dies.”'' (Network Effect, Chapter 1)

In the first full-length novel in The Murderbot Diaries, Murderbot is on assignment with a survey team led by Dr. Arada from Preservation when it is abducted, along with some of the team, by an unknown force... controlling a bot-driven research and teaching vessel that Murderbot is very familiar with. But ART is nowhere to be found... or is it somehow behind the attack?

While Murderbot tries to unravel this mystery and keep Dr. Mensah's daughter Amena safe from hostile humans and alien remnants, it also reviews its memory files on recent activities back in Preservation System, including an assassination attempt by GrayCris on Dr. Mensah, and Ratthi attempts to provide relationship counseling to Murderbot, over its objections.
