“Fugitive Telemetry” is the sixth major installment in Martha Wells Murderbot Diaries series. This is another winning series installment. Murderbot's wry observations of human behavior are as humorous as ever and the mystery is thoroughly satisfying. Vexed by the illogical humans it's forced to work with, Murderbot patiently explains its way through the clues it uncovers, and Senior Officer Indah can't help being impressed with Murderbot's investigative skills and surprisingly compassionate regard for life. Murderbot hopes to gain the refugee status that would enable it to stay in the Preservation Alliance, but it's an uphill battle as rogue SecUnits are feared as unhinged killers an unfounded fear in this case, as Murderbot wants nothing more than to catch up on its favorite soap opera in peace. A dead body found in Preservation Station mall propels Murderbot, a SecUnit, into a new contract as a consultant in the murder investigation.

Hugo and Nebula Award winner Wells brings her solitude-craving, media-loving killer robot protagonist another step closer to independence in the entertaining sixth entry in the Murderbot Diaries series (after Network Effect). Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans!Ī standalone adventure in the New York Times and USA Today-bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning series!Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people-who knew?) If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall. Having captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it's 'one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read') Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today. The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!
