Description



Book Synopsis



Martha Wells returns to her Hugo, Nebula, Alex, and Locus Award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling series, The Murderbot Diaries, in Exit Strategy.

Murderbot wasn't programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right?

Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah--its former owner (protector? friend?)--submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit.

But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?

And what will become of it when it's caught?

"I love Murderbot!" --Ann Leckie

Review Quotes




"Emphatically fulfils expectations.This is space opera with wit and intelligence, and it's thoroughly enjoyable." --Aurealis

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

"We are all a little bit Murderbot... we see ourselves in its skin. And that reading about this sulky, soap-opera-loving cyborg killing machine might be one of the most human experiences you can have in sci-fi right now.."--NPR

"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

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

A Must Read! If you love sci-fi, you’ll love murderbot!

5 out of 5 stars
Suketchi96 - 5 years ago, Verified purchaser
I’m in love with the Murderbot Diaries. I bought the whole series, and this is coming from someone who never buys books. Murderbot is a refreshing perspective from the eyes of a character who just wants to be left alone to digest his favorite media, but instead gets drawn into corporate conflicts and relationships with humans he doesn’t understand, and nonetheless grows to care for. Never has a character been more relatable to myself as an introvert who sometimes finds themselves at a loss when interacting with humanity. If you love robots, the exploration of AI, space, or any kind of sci-fi, you have to read these books. You won’t be disappointed!
