Reviews

Praise for The Murderbot Diaries

"Emphatically fulfils expectations. This is space opera with wit and intelligence, and it's thoroughly enjoyable." --Aurealis on Exit Strategy

"The most heartwarming action-packed literally explosive space opera I've enjoyed in a long time. Martha Wells is the best writer of loveable snarky gender-subversive killing machines out there!" --N. K. Jemisin

"We are all a little bit Murderbot."--NPR

"If you need something light, a little violent and laugh-out-loud hilarious, dive into this series: You may find that you have more in common with Murderbot than you think." --Liz Braswell, The Wall Street Journal

"Readers won't miss the wall-to-wall action that defined the series from its beginning. The characters and the world building remain engrossing and rewarding." --Booklist, starred review

"I might have a little bit of a thing for a robot. Its name is Murderbot... Network Effect [is] great." --Wired

"I can think of no better company than this paranoid android." --The New Scientist
