Murderbot doing its thing—and I loved every second of it! 

In Fugitive Telemetry, our favorite sarcastic, media-loving, reluctant hero is once again solving mysteries, this time in a classic murder investigation. Unlike previous entries, this one leans more into a detective procedural, which gives us a fresh angle on Murderbot’s dry wit, sharp observations, and begrudging cooperation with humans. 

The humor? On point. The action? Tightly paced. And of course, Murderbot’s internal monologue remains the highlight of the series—equal parts hilarious, exasperated, and oddly endearing. 
If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll love this one. If you haven’t met Murderbot yet, what are you waiting for?
