Media Reviews

Praise for The Murderbot Diaries series

I love Murderbot! --Ann Leckie

The Murderbot series is a heart-pounding thriller that never lets up, but it's also one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read. Come for the gunfights on other planets, but stay for the finely drawn portrait of a deadly robot whose smartass goodness will give you hope for the future of humanity. --Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous

Clever, inventive, brutal when it needs to be, and compassionate without ever being sentimental. --Kate Elliott, author of the Spirit Walker trilogy

Endearing, funny, action-packed, and murderous. --Kameron Hurley, author of The Stars are Legion

Not only a fun, fast-paced space-thriller, but also a sharp, sometimes moving character study that will resonate with introverts even if they're not lethal AI machines. --Malka Older, author of Infomocracy

Wells gives depth to a rousing but basically familiar action plot by turning it into the vehicle by which SecUnit engages with its own rigorously denied humanity. --Publishers Weekly starred review

I already can't wait for the next one. --The Verge

Meet your favorite depressed A.I. since Marvin. --B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog

A great kick-off for a continuing series. --Locus
