The New York Times bestselling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!

No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall.

When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?)

Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans!

Again!

Performed by David Cui Cui, Gail Shalan, Amanda Forstrom, Aure Nash, Bradley Foster Smith, Chris Stinson, Christopher Walker, Eric Messner, Jenna Sharpe, Joel David Santner, Julienne Irons, Ken Jackson, Khaya Fraites, Michael Glenn, Michael John Casey, Nazia Chaudhry, Scott McCormick, Stephanie Németh-Parker, Wyn Delano, Yasmin Tuazon and Zeke Alton.

worst entry

the worst entry in the murderbot diaries is still good. it feels out of place and is not chronologically coherent with the previous and next entries

Less memorable book in the series

This is one of the less memorable books in the series. It's set up as a who-done-it mystery with Murderbot as the detective. This almost kind of works but not really. Maybe I just get bored with mysteries stories.

Perfect Sci-Fi Nerd Entertainment

Graphic Audio performance is again totally terrific. The cast of voices and sounds brink Martha Well’s Murderbot Diaries to a new listening level. I love the series and am glad Graphic Audio can produce the stories in broadcast style.

Too much narration

Not enough dialogue or action. I had to force myself to finish the book. The structure of the book was monotonous

A subpar interlude overshadowed by the greater story

The story feels mostly plot driven, with the intention of connecting a few plot points between books 4 and 5. The main murder mystery didn’t grab me much, so I struggled to care about most of the detective work. Also, the secondary voice acting is somehow worse than fan fiction YouTube channels with less than 1k subscribers. They should’ve just kept the main narrator and the soundtrack, which both worked well for me.

Nothing new

This book is a self contained mystery procedural that does nothing to advance Murderbot’s evolution. Further, the mystery unfolds in standard fashion with Murderbot single handedly figuring out the whodunit. Worse, neither the new bots nor the new humans have any interesting personalities. Everything here was the same old “Murderbot bristles at human distrust, drops F-bombs, and wants to watch his soaps” plot. Only the F-bombs seem to be increasing without meaningful effect, the action is more sparse, and the dialogue falls flat. Kind of a let down, really.

Terrible music playing in the background.

the music overpowering the story. had been ok without it. wish I had bought the regular version
