Exit Strategy

Can a robot change its programming, mission, and values? Kevin Free's unemotional narration is the perfect choice for this story featuring a murderbot--a cyborg. The murderbot recounts his self-initiated mission to rescue his patron and "friend," Dr. Mensah, from the clutches of GrayCris Corporation. The murderbot, a SecUnit gone rogue, describes his actions, his reprogrammed workings, and his adventures through Free's steadily paced voice, each word precisely enunciated and evenly spaced. The murderbot is aided by other security forces pals who sound more human as Free relaxes into his performance. This novella-length audiobook is full of stealth, action, and the murderbot's self-discovery. Free's intense reading draws listeners into the final installment of the murderbot's adventures.

Murderbot's fourth adventure is brought to life by a team of talented voice actors and subtle sound effects. Murderbot has traveled far and wide through the universe in an attempt to understand itself and its programming. For a sentient robot programmed to kill, Murderbot has become surprisingly human and decides to help its owner by facing down a deadly corporation. David Cui Cui does double duty as narrator and bringing the sympathetic murder machine, Murderbot, to life. Cui Cui captures the humor and heart well and ensures the snarky humor elicits a chuckle or two. The story is short--it's a novella--and it will leave listeners eager for the next entry in the series. J.M.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
