To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe.

For good. Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.

And what will become of it when it's caught?
