Praise for The Murderbot Diaries

“We are all a little bit Murderbot.”—NPR

“Readers won’t miss the wall-to-wall action that defined the series from its beginning. The characters and the world building remain engrossing and rewarding.” —Booklist, starred review

Praise for All Systems Red

“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
“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
