Review of 'Rogue Protocol' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Hi! I'm Miki! Can we be friends?

In our current episode.. These are very episodic, nothing wrong with that--as acquaintance Bradley says, it's popcorn sci-fi. That's not saying it's bubblegum, it's not, but it is easy chewing science fiction fodder for a brain that might not want to keep Wikipedia next to them the whole time.

I liked this book for the continued world building. I liked running my thoughts along a terraforming platform. I liked pondering the friend-o-bot Miki. I still liked thinking through the corporate run universe (or area of the universe) where bonds and liabilities we're a big thing. As an aside I think [a:John Scalzi|4763|John Scalzi|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1407277112p2/4763.jpg]'s universe could exist pretty well here.

The story was one more chink in the research. Research we really don't know will come to fruition. It's interesting that the whole arc here is to go discover wrongdoing but at the end of it--while a battle, bots, and misdeeds are all around, I didn't feel that I had the smoking gun in our dataports if you get what I mean.

We'll have to read on! In the next episode of Tranquility Moon--er--Murderbot Diaries #4! hehe
