Finally Joining the Murderbot Party

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls by Jane Lindskold

March 29, 2023 by Tracy Leave a Comment

[CW for underage sex work in the 2nd book review] I finally decided to get All Systems Red from the library and have the next two on hold. I enjoyed it and think it pretty much lived up to the hype. Murderbot is a SecUnit on an uninhabited planet. It’s assigned to a group of scientists who are exploring the planet, but it doesn’t particularly enjoy its job. It hacked its governor module and spends as much time as it can streaming various entertainment media, […]

Happy Bingo Blackout!

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

November 14, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 2 Comments

BINGO – Question: will the second capture the magic of the first? Will I be able to blackout my Bingo card? Answer: Mostly and yes! Murderbot is out on its own searching for answers about its past. Not really on the lamb but also not looking for any attention either, Murderbot sneaks its way to RaviHyral, the location where it first malfunctioned, in order to get more information about its past. Along the way, Murderbot hitches a ride with a research transport ship that is […]

A Murderbot Murder Mystery

Fugitive Telemetry: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

January 25, 2022 by ElCicco 3 Comments

Fugitive Telemetry is the latest installment in the Murderbot Diaries but chronologically, its events take place before those of Book 5 (Network Effect) but after Book 4 (Exit Strategy). This is a “whodunnit” set on Preservation Station, where MB’s guardian Dr. Mensah, suffering from PTSD, is a respected Councilor. Preservation Station is a non-corporate entity with a proud history of independence and respect for individual rights, whether one is human, bot or augmented human (a human/bot hybrid). Anyone can come to Preservation Station for sanctuary […]

All Aboard the Murderbot Bandwagon!

All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

Artificial Condition: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

January 9, 2022 by ElCicco 3 Comments

Another shoutout to Emmalita for the gift of these two books, the first in Martha Wells’ Murderbot series. The Murderbot Diaries have been reviewed often and glowingly here on CBR and my reviews will not be much different! I am loving this series and will absolutely be reading the rest.  Murderbot is the name that the main character has given itself. It is a SecUnit, i.e., a security unit, that is a hybrid of robotic and human parts. SecUnits are equipment rented out to research […]

“Don’t look at me like that’s my fault. I’m just telling you shit I know.”

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells

December 1, 2021 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

We have a Murderbot murder mystery novella. It is almost as if this book was written specifically for me. Although published after Network Effect, Fugitive Telemetry takes place before it, after Mensah brings Murderbot to Preservation Station. We join action in progress as a body has been discovered on the Station and Murderbot accompanies Dr. Mensah and Senior Officer Indah as an investigation is undertaken. Dr. Mensah does her Dr. Mensah thing and Murderbot is contracted to aid in the investigation (neither Murderbot not Senior […]

Murderbot does the tv detective partner thing

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells

November 26, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Fugitive Telemetry is basically ‘Murderbot does a murder mystery in a cop-outside expert tv episode’, with Murderbot being the outside expert, Station Security represented mostly by Indah who doesn’t want/trust the outsider, and a bit of a locked-door mystery as to who the dead person is, how and why they were killed all unknown. Besides the usual entertaining Murderbot snarkiness, there is a little bit of world building on Preservation Station, more in the setting sense and a little bit of cultural background. There also […]
