The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells – 9781250350862

Description

The complete starting point — six Murderbot adventures in one volume. If you have ever wondered what the fuss is about, this is your answer: The Murderbot Diaries bundle collects the first six installments of Martha Wells’s Hugo- and Nebula-winning series in a single 1,168-page ebook, from the novella that started it all to the novel that swept the awards.

Inside: All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy — the four novellas that introduced the self-aware SecUnit who hacked its own governor module and would rather watch soap operas than save humans — plus the novel Network Effect and the novella Fugitive Telemetry. One purchase, the entire opening saga, in reading order.

For newcomers, this bundle is the smartest way in: no hunting down installments, no cliffhanger waits. For fans, it is the definitive shelf (such as it is) of the series’ golden first act. Meet Murderbot — reluctantly, sarcastically, and all at once.

Meet Murderbot: a self-aware security android that hacked its own governor module and would much rather be watching soap operas than babysitting humans. But when the clients it’s contracted to protect keep ending up in danger — and its own dark, half-remembered past keeps resurfacing — this reluctant hero is dragged into conspiracies it never asked to solve.

The Murderbot Diaries ebook bundle from Tordotcom (September 2023) collects the first six adventures of Martha Wells’s beloved SecUnit in one volume: the four novellas All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy, plus the novel Network Effect and the novella Fugitive Telemetry. Set in a corporate-dominated spacefaring future where planetary missions live and die by company contracts, the series pits Murderbot’s dry, media-obsessed wit against the ruthless GrayCris Corporation and the mysteries of its own missing memories.
