Disappointingly short. Perhaps at least a novella? Anyway some Murderbot is better than no Murderbot.

Good fun romp. Nice sequel to the past few old man war books, but with a bit more humor thrown in.

Quite creative on the alien world. Adrian is really firing on all cylinders these days. Feel sorry for the poor humans living like they do.

Good memoir of a journalist and science educator. Feel good sort of book, just say yes to opportunities. Nostalgic look back to when people cared about science and the crackpots were kept at arms length.
