booksafety 's review for:

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells
5.0

 Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

All I wanted to do was watch media and not exist.

Are you shitting my dick?! Space murder mystery!! I have ascended to the heavens. Literally couldn’t think of anything better than Murderbot solving a goddamn murder on a space station. I know I just said book 5 was my new favorite in the series, but…


I adore this character and series so much. They better not gender my Murderbot in the TV show, or else 😠🔪 Anyway. I don’t actually have anything review-y to say.

[…] the humans on the Station wouldn’t have to think about what I was, a construct made of cloned human tissue, augments, anxiety, depression, and unfocused rage, a killing machine for whichever humans rented me, until I made a mistake and got my brain destroyed by my governor module.

“Yes, I’ve had experience with investigating suspicious fatalities in controlled circumstances.” Indah’s gaze wasn’t exactly skeptical. “What controlled circumstances?” I said, “Isolated work installations.” Her expression turned even more grim. “Corporate slave labor camps.” I said, “Yes, but if we call them that, Marketing and Branding gets angry and we get a power surge through our brains that fries little pieces of our neural tissue.”
