Book of the Month: ‘Fugitive Telemetry’ by Martha Wells
Can you believe we’ve been reading together as a community for a year?! Time moves fast when you have good books to read every month.
One of Maude Garrett’s favourite authors is Martha Wells. We have been reading the Murderbot Diaries for a while now, and Maude has even interviewed Wells herself.
The BOOK OF THE MONTH for December is Fugitive Telemetry—the sixth book of the Murderbot Diaries.
If Maude loves an author, we will continue to find books to read that fit our favourite sci-fi/fantasy genres!

bOOK chAT: ‘Network Effect’
‘Fugitive telemetry’ by Martha Wells
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!
