Review of 'Fugitive Telemetry' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Murderbot!
Sadly, this isn't another full length installment but another novella. On the plus side it is very, very good. Also, unlike the first 4, this was priced appropriately for a novella.
This story gives Murderbot a purpose to be in the place of refuge it has found and opens up the setting for all kinds of hijinks fulfilling that purpose.
The strength of these stories is in the character of Murderbot itself but the world building is coming through nicely and the entertainment factor is very high.
Recommended by myself and the Scottish First Minister!

2022 Re-read
Doh. I had not picked up on my first read through that this fits in before 'Network Effect' in the Murderbot timeline. Again, a more careful re-read picking up nuances that were missed previously. The score from before still stands for this, thoroughly enjoyable stuff.
