James’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5)
Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5) by Martha Wells
3 highlights
stupid boat, so I knew this part of the stern was empty. The superstructure above me was triangular, angled back in a way to make it faster or something, I don’t know, I’m a murderbot, I don’t give a crap about boats.
