The first full-length dramatized audiobook in Martha Wells' New York Times and USA Today bestselling Murderbot Diaries series.

You know that feeling when you’re at work, and you’ve had enough of people, and then the boss walks in with yet another job that needs to be done right this second or the world will end, but all you want to do is go home and binge your favorite shows? And you're a sentient murder machine programmed for destruction? Congratulations, you're Murderbot.

Come for the pew-pew space battles, stay for the most relatable A.I. you’ll hear this century.

I’m usually alone in my head, and that’s where 90 plus percent of my problems are.

When Murderbot's human associates (not friends, never friends) are captured and another not-friend from its past requires urgent assistance, Murderbot must choose between inertia and drastic action.

Drastic action it is, then.

Fantastic performance

well acted. well written. I could listen to these Murderbot novellas forever. keep em coming!

Read "Book 6" before this one!

As ever, Wells' story and David Cui Cui's narration/voice acting are outstanding. However, this book and Murderbot's character development arc will make more sense in the overall timeline if you read Book 6: Fugitive Telemetry *first*.

What a gem

I’m on binge of this series. It is light hearted, visionary and riveting when in action scenes. Sounds a bit like a noir detective drama at times. I hope she keeps coming up with new ideas worlds/ targets bots AI etc

Loved it!

One of the best things about a book you can’t put down is the amazing story and journey that you go upon within your own mind. Sadly, now the story is over as I have binge the entire series. I hope that the author continues to write more. I will have to wait to see.

re: dramatized version...missing content?

love the performances overall but isn't this missing entire chapters?

there's no mention of murderbot going to preservation planet, etc. an entire 50+ minute chapter is gone, basically (chapter 2 in the regular version, which I also have).

I feel like there's other random gaps too.

considering the narrator reads at a pretty good clip, comparatively, and the missing content, it makes sense this version is so much shorter (almost 4 hours).
