Fugitive Telemetry

Executive Summary: I love Murderbot. There is some good humor and a decent story. I probably didn't quite enjoy it as much as some of the past stories though. I will definitely pick up the next book though 3.5 stars. Maybe 4.Audiobook: I think Kevin Free does a fantastic job as usual. There was some discussion in my book club about him not being a good fit, but I Full Review2020 was a looong year and I didn't remember that well most of the details of [b:Network Effect 52381770 Network Effect (The Murderbot Diaries, #5) Martha Wells https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1568667704l/52381770.SX50_SY75.jpg 63614271]. Turns out this was a prequel and so it didn't matter too much.I feel like this is more of a return to the sort of one-off nature of the novellas rather than advancing the overall plot too much. I thought the mystery was ok. At this point it was my investment in the characters that kept me engaged more than the plot itself though.However I continue to enjoy this series despite disliking the rise in popularity of the novella format. I had hoped after Network Effect we'd be getting novel length stories going forward.Either way I'm definitely in for a sequel whatever form that takes.
