Network Effect: A Murderbot Novel
by Martha Wells · 2021
Buy on AmazonEveryone’s favorite grumpy, TV-obsessed security robot is back, in its first full-length adventure. Over the course of four novellas, we’ve watched Murderbot grow closer to its human companions, figure out its place among them and even make a real friend (all while insisting it just wants to be left alone to rewatch its favorite series, Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon). Now, all those relationships are in danger, so what’s a Murderbot to do? Well, probably some murdering at the very least. Lots of stories don’t stand up when stretched to novel length – luckily for us, Network Effect not only stands up, it soars.
