Editorial Reviews Review A USA Today Bestseller! 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 “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 “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 “I might have a little bit of a thing for a robot. Its name is Murderbot... Network Effect [is] great.” ― Wired “ I can think of no better company than this paranoid android.” ― The New Scientist “ 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 Praise for All Systems Red “The Murderbot series is a heart-pounding thriller that never lets up, but it's also one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read.” ― Annalee Newitz , author of The Future of Another Timeline “Clever, inventive, brutal when it needs to be, and compassionate without ever being sentimental.” ― Kate Elliott , author of the Spirit Walker trilogy “Endearing, funny, action-packed, and murderous.” ― Kameron Hurley , author of The Stars Are Legion “Not only a fun, fast-paced space-thriller, but also a sharp, sometimes moving character study that will resonate with introverts even if they're not lethal AI machines.” ― Malka Older , author of Infomocracy “Wells gives depth to a rousing but basically familiar action plot by turning it into the vehicle by which SecUnit engages with its own rigorously denied humanity.” ― Publishers Weekly , starred review “I already can’t wait for the next one.” ― The Verge About the Author MARTHA WELLS has written many novels, including the New York Times and USA Today- bestselling Murderbot Diaries series, which has won multiple Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Alex Awards, and was adapted into an Apple Original TV series.
