Publisher Description
A standalone adventure in the New York Times and USA Today-bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning series!
The security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!
Having captured the hearts of readers across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it's "one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read") Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today.
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!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hugo and Nebula Award–winner Wells brings her solitude-craving, media-loving killer robot protagonist another step closer to independence in the entertaining sixth entry in the Murderbot Diaries series (after Network Effect). A dead body found in Preservation Station mall propels Murderbot, a SecUnit, into a new contract as a consultant in the murder investigation. Murderbot hopes to gain the refugee status that would enable it to stay in the Preservation Alliance, but it's an uphill battle as rogue SecUnits are feared as unhinged killers—an unfounded fear in this case, as Murderbot wants nothing more than to catch up on its favorite soap opera in peace. Vexed by the illogical humans it's forced to work with, Murderbot patiently explains its way through the clues it uncovers, and Senior Officer Indah can't help being impressed with Murderbot's investigative skills and surprisingly compassionate regard for life. Murderbot's wry observations of human behavior are as humorous as ever and the mystery is thoroughly satisfying. This is another winning series installment.
Customer Reviews
I love murderbot
I won’t précis the book but will say I have been waiting for this for about a year. I reread the series often and now have a new one to mix it up a bit. I do prefer her rogue status to this new slightly domesticated role but hopefully she will go off world in the next book.
dead human report
There's only so many times you can review episodes of Sanctuary Moon while waiting for a new installment of Murderbot to appear on the feed. I almost had an emotion when Murderbot Diary #6 appeared. Luckily my visor was opaque and my expression was not apparent to those humans around me.
I immediately stood in the corner, went into lockdown and unpacked the data transmission. i then applied all input resources to the transmission. It was as I expected - full immersion in content despite lack of video feed information. The only anomaly is that the episode was over too soon.
Threat assessment has been reduced by the announcement that more Murderbot episodes are planned for the future. I may have to use hibernate function to reduce uptime waiting for next installment.
