FUGITIVE TELEMETRY Murderbot Diaries, Book 6

Kevin R. Free narrates the latest Murderbot novella, in which nothing is as straightforward as it seems. When a dead body is unexpectedly found on Preservation Station, Murderbot enters into an uneasy partnership with station security to discover who the victim was and why they were killed. Free leans into Murderbot's description of itself as a "construct made of cloned human tissue, augments, anxiety, depression, and unfocused rage"--and adds a goodly helping of sarcasm to the mix--to create a deeply relatable portrait of an individual struggling to find their place in an often hostile and confusing world. While Murderbot would be aghast at the notion, Free offers an engaging and empathetic portrayal that highlights its inherent humanity. K.M.P.
