So the plan wasn’t a clusterfuck, it was just circling the clusterfuck target zone, getting ready to come in for a landing.
Exit Strategy is the fourth and the last novella in the Murderbot Diaries, a fun, science-fiction adventure of a robot developing a human-like conscience and fighting evil corporations.
The introverted robot, a security unit, returns to the space station holding the headquarters of some of the protagonist companies. It manages through detective work, good human interactions and great hacking skills to finally find justice.
The series is lovely and the writing skills of Martha Wells are remarkable, intuitively understanding what the reader thinks, and adding an anecdote or a question that the reader wonders too. While the novella are short, they are well paced, without any sensation of rush, leaving enough time for descriptions and character development.
Overall, a great, relaxing, well-written and funny series of novellas by a Hugo and Nebula prizes winner.
