• Fugitive Telemetry

  There is something wonderfully appropriate about Murderbot being dragged into a murder investigation. Give it a security assignment and it is perfectly capable of dealing with armed threats, corporate skulduggery and assorted technological nightmares… people on the other hand

• Network Effect

  I’ve just wrapped up Network Effect from the Murderbot Diaries, and it’s a game changer! It’s longer, more engaging, and I’m way more invested in Murderbot’s journey and relationships, especially with ART. The humour’s still spot on, and I’m loving the emotional depth. Truly, it’s a fantastic addition to the series!

  In Exit Strategy, Murderbot’s journey of self-discovery continues to shine. It’s still the same sarcastic security unit, but now it’s grappling with friendships and emotional ties while navigating the chaos around it. The story blends action and humour, making you genuinely care about these characters. Just wish it was longer!

• Rogue Protocol

  I’m getting hooked on Murderbot! I thought I’d take it slow with Rogue Protocol, but I can’t help but binge it. The story’s great, mixing dark humour, corporate drama, and clever insights about AI, autonomy, and odd friendships. I care about Murderbot now, despite its grumpy attitude!

It’s a riot as Murderbot tries (and fails) to avoid human interaction while confronting its own…

• All Systems Red

  Imagine a robot that’s supposed to protect humans but would rather binge-watch its favourite shows. That’s Murderbot! In All Systems Red, it juggles sarcasm, a complex moral dilemma, and a reluctant sense of duty while wanting to avoid social interaction. A short yet hilarious read that leaves you craving more!

• Leviathan Falls

  Leviathan Falls wraps up The Expanse with a bang, blending grand themes with personal choices. It tackles deep questions about freedom, identity, and the human condition, all while delivering a gripping emotional finale. A proper farewell to a beloved series.

• Tiamat’s Wrath

  Tiamat’s Wrath ramps up the tension in The Expanse series, focusing on the fragile grip of power the Laconian Empire has over humanity. Instead of just space battles, it dives deep into personal stories about family and consequences of choices. The characters’ growth over decades adds emotional weight, making it relatable and gripping.

• Persepolis Rising

  Persepolis Rising takes The Expanse to a whole new level by jumping thirty years into the future. The universe’s changed dramatically, with the Rocinante crew older and facing the authoritarian Laconian Empire. Amidst the grand political themes, the book explores personal growth and friendships, making it emotional while tackling the complexities of power and resistance.
