All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen. However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.

Publisher's summary
The New York Times best-selling security droid with a heart (though it wouldn't admit it!) is back in Fugitive Telemetry!
Having captured the hearts of audiences across the globe (Annalee Newitz says it's "one of the most humane portraits of a nonhuman I've ever read"), Murderbot has also established Martha Wells as one of the great SF writers of today.
No, I didn't kill the dead human. If I had, I wouldn't dump the body in the station mall.
When Murderbot discovers a dead body on Preservation Station, it knows it is going to have to assist station security to determine who the body is (was), how they were killed (that should be relatively straightforward, at least), and why (because apparently that matters to a lot of people - who knew?).
Yes, the unthinkable is about to happen: Murderbot must voluntarily speak to humans!

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she's an active historian. She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she's an active historian. She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

It is the second stage of human colonization - the first age, humanity's initial attempt to people the stars, ended in disaster when it was discovered that Earth's original superluminal drive did permanent genetic damage to all who used it - mutating Earth's far-flung colonists in mind and body. Now, one of Earth's first colonies has given humanity back the stars, but at a high price - a monopoly over all human commerce.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

The galaxy remembers Hadrian Marlowe as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives - even the emperor himself - against Imperial orders. But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier. Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 435
Daniel Rice is a government science investigator whose specialty is solving seemingly intractable problems through scientific inquiry. But Daniel's intellectual strength is sorely tested by the bizarre realities he finds in the quantum world. Extra dimensions of space trap the unwary, probability replaces cause and effect, and time isn't what anyone imagined. The other side of the mirror is a place full of dangers, but it's also somewhere a dedicated scientist can uncover secrets that connect humans with something greater.

Not as good as others in the series
It was a whodunnit instead of the usual galactic adventures. Also it was another short one, shouldn’t cost a full credit :( waited so long for it, and now it’s over in one evening.

Murderbot Fugitive Telemetry Review
I fell in love with the Murderbot Diaries and I could hardly wait for the new book. It was a grave disappointment. The other stories were clever, funny, and endearing. This book was different. I guessed the villain once the autopsy results were revealed. I’m not clever so I knew the story wasn’t either. Oh well. I am very thankful for the earlier work and will enjoy listening to them over and over.

This series is so good it kills me when I get to the end. I hope the next book comes out soon. She really knows how to write an antisocial antihero. Fantastic job as always Mrs Wells!

Well worth the credit!
A fantastic addition to this series. I absolutely love Murderbot, especially their dry wit, sarcasm and observations about humans. Kevin Free is the perfect narrator for this series— perfect pacing, voicing and expressions. I highly recommend this series, but I also highly recommend starting from the beginning as Murderbot’s personal development and growth is what makes this series so wonderful.

Great story, well written.
“Maybe I was just a bot with enough organic tissue in me to be stupid.” Is the best line yet.

Murderbot is the best!
I need 35,000 more hours of murderbot. interesting story and more insight into how murderbot interacts with Preservation humans. I guessed who the murderer was pretty quickly but it didn't make listening to murderbot any less delicious!

Meh. Only 4 stars cuz I love the series.
I adore murderbot but this one left me underwhelmed. I had this pre-ordered also. Basically a generic "whodunit" with some SciFi type action and some inner ramblings from Murderbot. No real exploration of "humanity" in this one. Here's hoping the next installment is better.

Great book!
Wonderful! Too much sci-fi is space opera, but this author is fun and easy to listen to! My only issue is that it is too short! Love this series!

Love Murderbot
I can't say that I'm a big mystery or crime drama fan, but the Murderbot series are great. My only complaint would be that it this is short book.
