All Systems Red

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

This is very short, more of a novella than a novel. it's not bad although I suspect I might have missed a YA keyword somewhere. The story revolved around a sentient robot who doesn't much like people. He is, however, a responsible robot and works hard to perform his job which is keeping a group of planetary assessors alive. Not everyone likes him. Not everyone trusts him.

The pacing is good and the story moves right along. If you want character arcs you'll find a bit of that here but they're pretty basic. If you want a nice short break and like action without too much introspection I think you'll enjoy it.
