System Collapse by Martha Wells

The million-copy, New York Times bestselling Murderbot series is back
in another full-length novel adventure!
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.
Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back.
Following the events in Network Effect, the Barish-Estranza corporation has
sent rescue ships to a newly-colonized planet in peril, as well as additional
SecUnits. But if therea's an ethical corporation out there, Murderbot has yet to
find it, and if Barish-Estranza cana't have the planet, theya're sure as hell not
leaving without something . If that something just happens to be an entire
colony of humans, well, a free workforce is a decent runner-up prize.
But therea's something wrong with Murderbot; it isna't running within normal
operational parameters. ARTa's crew and the humans from Preservation are
doing everything they can to protect the colonists, but with Barish-Estranzaa's
SecUnit-heavy persuasion teams, theya're going to have to hope Murderbot
figures out whata's wrong with itself, and fast!
Yeah, this plan is. . . not going to work.
