The security droid with a heart (though it wouldn’t admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!
*No, I didn’t kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn’t dump the body in the station mall. * When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people—who knew?)
Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans!
Again!
A standalone adventure in the New York Times and USA Today-bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning series!

Not much to say beyond the title. There's nits to pick, but you know what you're getting and you're not likely to be disappointed.
... and in this respect, how easily I can convince myself to pick up a book out of this Murderbotseries, how I look forward to it, to the fun while reading, makes this series, even if it's small, comparable in my eyes to the fun I have looking forward to picking up the next Lee Child / Jack Reacher novel, or more literaric, picking up one of the 75 books in Georges Simenon's Maigret series. Wells Murderbot might not have the status of these long series yet, for sure. But I look forward to the next part from Wells as much as I do when picking up one of those others, great series. That's quite a praise, believe me.
