About

Everyone's favorite lethal SecUnit is back in the next installment in Martha Wells' bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries series.

Having someone else support your bad decision feels kind of good.

Having volunteered to run a rescue mission, Murderbot realises that it will have to spend significant time with a bunch of humans it doesn't know.

Including human children. Ugh.

This may well call for... eye contact!

(Emotion check: Oh, for f-)

Praise for The Murderbot Diaries



"I love Murderbot!" ―Ann Leckie

"The most heartwarming action-packed literally explosive space opera I've enjoyed in a long time. Martha Wells is the best writer of loveable snarky gender-subversive killing machines out there!" ―N. K. Jemisin

"We are all a little bit Murderbot." ―NPR

"I might have a little bit of a thing for a robot. Its name is Murderbot... Network Effect [is] great." ―Wired

"If you need something light, a little violent and laugh-out-loud hilarious, dive into this series: You may find that you have more in common with Murderbot than you think." -Liz Braswell, The Wall Street Journal

"I can think of no better company than this paranoid android." ―The New Scientist



"Readers won't miss the wall-to-wall action that defined the series from its beginning. The characters and the world building remain engrossing and rewarding." -Booklist, starred review

"Murderbot, with its on-point observations and addictive interior monologues, is easily one of my favorite characters in SF... Highly recommended." ―Charles de Lint for Fantasy & Science Fiction

"I could read about Murderbot all week." ―Locus
