A 2021 Nebula Award Winner!
Shortlisted for the 2022 Seiun Award! Named a Best of 2020 Pick for
NPR Book Riot Polygon "If the first books were episodes in a
four-part TV miniseries, then Network Effect is the feature-length
movie with the bigger budget and scope... Murderbot and the world
it inhabits constantly leave you wanting more, in the best possible
way. Network Effect is a wonderful continuation of the series, and
I highly recommend it." --NPR "I might have a little bit of a thing
for a robot. Its name is Murderbot... Network Effect [is]
great."--Wired "A glorious thought-provoking Murderbot tale...As we
may be stuck in social isolation for the foreseeable future, I can
think of no better company than this paranoid android." --The New
Scientist
"This is a terrific space opera, a classic space adventure but with
a very modern sensibility... Murderbot, with its on-point
observations and addictive interior monologues, is easily one of my
favorite characters in SF...
I found I had to stop myself from rereading the whole book right on
the spot... Highly recommended." --Charles de Lint for Fantasy &
Science Fiction "A welcome expansion of this universe and lays the
groundwork for more stories to come in a series that continues to
grow and impress." --Booklist, starred review
"SecUnit's gloriously candid, frequently confused assessments of
its crew and their predicaments allow for an amusingly childlike
perspective on what it means to be human... Series fans and anyone
who enjoys humor-infused space operas won't want to miss this."
--Publishers Weekly starred review "This is a perfectly paced space
opera adventure novel... I could read about Murderbot all week."
--Locus "It's pretty much the perfect follow-up to the series, and
manages to be surprising all the way to the final page... I was
floored by Network Effect, and if you're into Murderbot in any way,
I think you will be too." --Aurealis "Martha Wells' Network Effect
is phenomenal and likely surpasses the high expectations set by the
novellas... I haven't met a human who didn't enjoy these books."
--The Quill to Live
"Network Effect is the perfect fare for any seeking the perfect
weekend binge read or escapist vacation." --BookPage "If you're
looking for a mystery that perfectly tempers grisly scenes with
lighthearted humor, this is the series you need to read." --Bustle
"Wells continues to find sensitive and effective directions for
Murderbot's character growth. This whole series is fantastic, and
this novel is no exception. If anyone had any doubts about
Murderbot's ability to carry a full length novel, this should put
them to rest." --SFRevu "Anyone who enjoys humor-infused space
operas won't want to miss this."--Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"Wells' first four Murderbot novellas were sensations, and the
first full-length book in the series is a funny, entertaining
follow-up." --Medium "Another great entry into a series that
probably needs very little introduction. Murderbot is a top bot, a
great pal, and I'm glad that they're looking to stick around for
more adventures to come." --Nerds of a Feather "Murderbot will make
you laugh and punch you in the feels a fair few times ... I will
always look forward to more Murderbot adventures." --The Nerd Daily
"Readers will love journeying with Murderbot again in a bigger and
wilder adventure guaranteed to leave you craving more. Needless to
say, I'm already burning to get my hands on the next one." --The
Bibliosanctum
"Wildly original and endearing, Network Effect is a complex work of
genius that expands upon a fascinating scientific landscape in a
conversational, sardonic tone." --Paperback Paris "Unpredictable,
hold-your-heart beautiful, heartbreaking and, all in all, my new
favourite sci-fi book." --Orbiting Pluto
Praise for The Murderbot Diaries
"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 "I love Murderbot!"--Ann Leckie "We are all a little bit
Murderbot."--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
