Murderbot does it again!

Exit Strategy by Martha Wells

January 19, 2023 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I’ve been working my way through the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. I was recently able to get the fourth book, Exit Strategy (2018) from the library. It was a quick, interesting read that added to the Murderbot story. It looks like there are currently six books in the series, with more on the way. I think at this point I’m pretty committed to the series, although I do have a hard time keeping all of the books and the humans in the story straight. So, to […]

“Who knew being a heartless killing machine would present so many moral dilemmas?”

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells

December 4, 2022 by Sophia 1 Comment

Ever since one of my friends from book club recommended All Systems Red by Martha Wells, I’ve been working my way through the six novellas in the Murderbot Diaries series. Rogue Protocol (2018) is book 3, and it follows the “Murderbot” on its adventures. So, the Murderbot is a “Secunit.” A Secunit is basically a robot with some organic parts that is built and rented out to be used for security. The Murderbot calls itself Murderbot because it was involved in some kind of mass killing spree before the […]

Alright I get it, and I’m on board!

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

October 26, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

BINGO  – Rec’d by nearly every Cannonballer at this point There is a Security Unit (SecUnit) assigned to protect a group of scientific researchers made up of humans and augmented humans. Typically, these SecUnits are cyborgs with a strong governor unit that very carefully controls the actions and decisions of the cyborg. And for good reason. SecUnits are designed and built to provide deadly security if needed. What this group of researchers don’t know is their SecUnit has broken his governor unit, watches soap operas […]

All Systems Red Re-re-read, August 2022: as my brother and I watched the Wadi Rum dessert open up in front of us, I reminded him that there was no cell reception or WiFi at the camp we were staying at and that he should have (as I told him, far in advance) downloaded whatever media he wanted to consume for the next few days. Unfortunately, he read through everything in his Kindle far too quickly and so asked me if I had anything else to […]

“As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

August 25, 2022 by esme 2 Comments

Although I saw all of the rave reviews (‘saw’, not ‘read’), it took me a while to get this lovely novella. Part of the blame is on my library system, as it took several months before All Systems Red, by Martha Wells, was available, but mostly the blame lies with me. Although I have read some fantastic science fiction over the years, I am very cautious when it comes to this genre – perhaps because my older brother was a huge sci-fi nerd? (Certainly he […]
