Fugitive Telemetry (The Murderbot Diaries, #6)

Dealing with humans is exhausting.
I was sort of surprised to find out that this one takes place before Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5), making this a prequel of sorts.
And while it was a oh! that's different! in a good way sort of surprise, I was a tad let down that I wasn't getting an ART and Murderbot adventure.
Alright, so this one shows what happened right after MB decided to hang around on Preservation Station after the end Exit Strategy (The Murderbot Diaries, #4). It should be a peaceful kind of life for them from here on out, but humans are going to human, so naturally, one of the damn things turns up dead.
And not from natural causes.
So this is the story of Murderbot solving a murder.
And of course, he's got to win the trust of the human security officers who don't trust our SecUnit not to start rampaging all over the place.
As far as the mystery goes, there were enough clues sprinkled in to let me guess whodunnit, but the why remained a mystery for me till the big reveal at the end.
Overall, another fun installment.
Recommended!

I had the same reaction to the timing, but still enjoyed it.

I just downloaded the latest book and I've got my fingers crossed that ART is in this one.
Does it actually take place out of order or did you read books in the wrong order again?
Unbelievably, this one is actually a prequel and I did read them in the correct order. Miracles DO happen!
It's how we all feel, I think. lol
I have books 1-5 awaiting for me in my shelf.I’ve seen mixed reviews. I hope I’ll like them.
Oh, just found out I can’t edit posts here. 🤪 Need to me more careful with my grammar next time.
Nobody cares about grammar on these threads. lol We all have fat fingers. I hope you like them! I don't think they're for everybody, but...fingers crossed for you, Angelo!
So we should read #5 before #6 even if that's not according to the timeline of events? I'm looking to start this series next month, so I want to do it right :D
I think it would be better to go in the order they were published. Then again I don't know how much difference it would actually make since it just goes back and explains a teeny bump of time in the past.
Thanks for clarifying! I guess either way would work, but I'll follow the publishing order then.
Hope this series ends up being a winner for you, Debora!
I've heard it usually sits well with neurodivergent folks and I'm enjoying the robot perspective from the Monk and Robot duology (I'm listening to the second book as we speak), so it felt like the right next choice and I'm pretty confident that I'll love it.
The main complaint I see is that while there is a somewhat overarching story about evil corporations, the plot really doesn't "move" that way. It's mostly about this secbot navigating the feelings they won't admit to having. lol
Haha, still sounds like fun and even more complex than just simply having evil corporations as the bad guys :D
Exactly the way I feel, but everyone is different. lol
I’m going to steal “Humans are going to human� as the perfect phrase for SO MANY situations.
