Never before have I connected so much with a character

"Such a great storyline"

— Jeffrey (5/5)

Martha Wells has done it again

"Once again Martha has created another fantastic book of Murderbot. Every book she writes about Security it grows into itself and uts relationships expand and develop constantly and I absolutely love that. It never fails to leave me floored and I will forever recommend this series"

— Asia (5/5)

Amazing installment to the series

"The second full-length novel works great as a sequel to Network Effect, addressing the issues Murderbot's been through while still having distinct new problems. It's an exciting, character-focused read with a well-developed plot. My personal highlight of the story is probably the trust between Murderbot and ART, mixed in, of course, with a lot of distinctive sarcasm from both. Murderbot's narrative voice and status as an unreliable narrator works great, making me engaged in the story while still taking care to read between the lines. Aside from a few minor nitpicks, I honestly have no complaints about this one."

— Anonymous (5/5)

Murderbot is always good

"When there is a new Murderbot book, I must own it. Whenever I finish one I want the next one to drop into my hands immediately. Alternatively I just want to read them all over again"

— Nancy (5/5)

I Love Murderbot

"If you haven’t read the Murderbot Diaries yet, you are seriously missing out. Quick reads but so very, very good. This newest addition to the series definitely maintains the momentum of the prior books."

— Jenly (5/5)

Murderbot Begins To Develop Emotions (maybe?) And Protect Their Crew

"This full length Murderbot novel carries on directly with the newer characters from the novella 'Fugitive Telemetry'. Murderbot seems to be slowly becoming more human in its thinking but still has the addiction to the video series ""The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon"" and enjoys having ART watch it with it. The crew has a real battle of wits with an organization that wants to turn the colonists on a not-completely-terraformed planet into indentured servants/slaves. It's up to SecUnit (Murderbot) and the university group looking for alien contamination to stop the nefarious plan. Murderbot not only tries to save the day but also sideloads their governor hacking software into other SecUnits. If you liked the previous volumes in the Murderbot Diaries, this will continue the ride. If you've not read the previous books and like sci-fi with some humour and sarcasm thrown in, star at the beginning with the novella ""All Systems Red"" and enjoy the ride."

— Carbonman (5/5)

“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

“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
