"Martha Wells's Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries, comes to a thrilling conclusion in Exit Strategy. Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah--its former owner (protector? friend?)--submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it's caught?"--provided by publisher.

My last re-read, I’m now caught up and the next Murderbot diary will be completely new to me. Exit Strategy is short and sweet, much like the other books. A situation involving old friends(?) sees Murderbot in more serious danger than they’ve faced before.
My favourite Murderbot—annoyed, unfiltered, swearing at humans to their face Murderbot—appears at the end of this book, and it is such a treat. In all honesty, I’d happily read anything involving Murderbot, I am such a fangirl. I <3 Murderbot, they’re literally my favourite SecUnit/bot/construct…person.
I just don’t get tired of Murderbot as a character. Plus, now that the world building and characters are more established, it’s easier to follow the plot, which was something I found a little difficult in the first two books. I cannot wait to keep reading this series!
A reunion with the characters from the first book & a satisfying conclusion that is still left open for sequels (which indeed there are).
