Murderbot is back and hosin’ hostiles once again, baybee

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells

by 3 Comments

Murderbot, my misanthropic friend! Welcome back- back to the PAST! There had been a lot of scuttlebutt floating around telling us that this would be a novella (hooray- I think the novel format dragged the last entry down), and that it would be a prequel. Hmmm. A prequel? Right after a satisfying promise of adventures with returning beloved characters? Booo! Once again, I stand by eating my big ol’ helping of crow pie while Martha Wells proves, once again, that I should trust the author […]

A SecUnit’s work is never done

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells

by 1 Comment

Fugitive Telemetry, the latest novella in the excellent Murderbot series by Martha Wells, has our faithful, snarky Murderbot on Preservation Station, guarding the humans it saved in the last book, attempting to relax watching Sanctuary Moon and growing perhaps a bit bored when, alas, a dead human appears. Excuse me, a “deceased human” as our dear SecUnit is repeatedly told to say. Dead human sounds..too blunt…too icky, which Muderbot hilariously reminds us is very true. Humans, dead or alive are constantly eating, secreting, smelling up […]

Re-read review: I am currently #70 on the list of holds for book number 6 in the Murderbot series (Fugitive Telemetry) so at this sedate pace I should be able to re-read the entire series by the time it finally comes off of hold. Interestingly enough I was more so-so on Murderbot 1 (All Systems Red) the first time around and much more gung ho the second. This time, I was ever so slightly less into Murderbot’s adventures, but some review of my feelings later I realize […]

Bookticle Club, Now with 100% More Murderbot

All Systems Red by Martha Wells

Re-read for Bookticle Club, March 2021: what a diametric opposite to the book I am currently reading, Hurricane Season. I’ll say that I noticed two things in particular this time. I read this entire thing at a stretch very late at night, and was definitely falling asleep a bit towards the end but it had nothing to do with my enjoyment! I will also note that this was my choice, and I had originally said we’d do a romance novel, and this is…not that. First was […]

Did Murderbot just get even better?

Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

by 4 Comments

I didn’t think I was going to like any Murderbot novellas any more than the first one (as I said before, science fiction is not exactly my jam), but somehow Martha Wells did it. I am so happy with this series, and Goodreads just informed me today that book 6 is being published in a month or so and I just want to read all of it. Now. Immediately. I want to not go to work and spend my entire day in Murderbot’s head watching […]
