All Systems Red

Synopsis

 A survey of a planet turns into a a skirmish between half-human battle bots. 
The protagonist is a battlebot that managed to be free of its governing module. 

My take

 It reads really well, though it feels easy by times. It's really easy to get attached to that "murderbot".
