"I love Murderbot!" --Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice
"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, author of Autonomous "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
"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 "Meet your favorite depressed A.I.
since Marvin." --B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog "A great kick-off
for a continuing series." --Locus
"Wells imbued Murderbot with extraordinary humanity, and while this
is a fun read, don't make the mistake of thinking it's not a
profound one."--LA Times PRAISE FOR MARTHA WELLS "Martha Wells
writes fantasy the way it was meant to be--poignant, evocative, and
astonishing. Prepare to be captivated 'til the sun comes up."
--Kameron Hurley, author of The Mirror Empire and God's War "The
Cloud Roads has wildly original world-building, diverse and
engaging characters, and a thrilling adventure plot. It's that
rarest of fantasies: fresh and surprising, with a story that
doesn't go where ten thousand others have gone before. I can't wait
for my next chance to visit the Three Worlds!" --N. K. Jemisin,
author of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms "Breathtakingly surprising
and fun. For readers who missed earlier entry points to this
delightful series, now is the time to get on board." --The New York
Times on The Edge of Worlds "That rarity--a completely unique and
stunning fantasy world." --Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear
