About This Book

Murderbot and its team must prevent a corporation from exploiting a recently discovered isolated colony before the colonists can make an informed choice about their future—while Murderbot itself deals with trauma it can't quite process.

About the Author

Martha Wells is an American science fiction and fantasy author best known for the Murderbot Diaries, a series of novellas and novels featuring a self-described 'SecUnit'—a part-robot, part-organic construct who hacked its own governance module and now just wants to watch television serials. The series has won multiple Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards. She won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel twice (Network Effect in 2021 and System Collapse in 2024) and the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel (Witch King in 2024). Read more →
