Murderbot Reviews

A couple of early reviews for my upcoming novella The Murderbot Diaries: All Systems Red:
* A starred review from Publishers Weekly! This is really good:
http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0- 7653-9753-9
Nebula finalist Wells (Edge of Worlds) gives depth to a rousing but basically familiar action plot by turning it into the vehicle by which SecUnit engages with its own rigorously denied humanity. The creepy panopticon of SecUnit’s multiple interfaces allows a hybrid first-person/omniscient perspective that contextualizes its experience without ever giving center stage to the humans.
* From review blog A Dragon in Space: https://adragoninspace.wordpress.com/ 2017/03/22/book-review-all-systems-red/
I laughed, I giggled, and I was on the edge of my seat. The way All Systems Red was written stroke a chord with me and it left me deeply content, thankful for such a nice story. Even while writing this review and rereading all the passages I had highlighted (or rather, the PAGES), I was laughing and hurting that I couldn’t quote everything or even hand this novella to everyone just like that.
