520    "The Murderbot Diaries makes first contact in this new, 
       futuristic, standalone novel exploring sentience and 
       artificial intelligence through the lenses of conflicted 
       robot hero Unit Four, from Marina Lostetter, critically 
       acclaimed author of Noumenon, Noumenon Infinity, and 
       Noumenon Ultra. When Unit Four--a biological soft robot 
       built and stored high above the Jovian atmosphere--is 
       activated for the first time, it's in crisis mode. Aliens 
       are attacking the Helium-3 mine it was created to oversee,
       and now its sole purpose is to defend Earth's largest 
       energy resource from the invaders in ship-to-ship combat. 
       But something's wrong. Unit Four doesn't feel quite right.
       There are files in its databanks it can't account for, 
       unusual chemical combinations roaring through its pipes, 
       and the primers it possesses on the aliens are 
       suspiciously sparse. The robot is under orders to seek and
       destroy. That's all it knows. According to its handler, 
       that's all it needs to know. Determined to fulfill its 
       directives, Unit Four launches its ship and goes on the 
       attack, but it has no idea it's about to get caught in a 
       downward spiral of misinformation, reprograming, and 
       interstellar conflict. Most robots are simple tools. Unit 
       Four is well on its way to becoming something more...."--
