Get All of the Murderbot Books for $18 While You Wait for Season 2 of the Apple TV Series
The story continues in the books.
There aren't very many TV shows that I watch as soon as new episodes air, but Murderbot was too hard to resist. It was the perfect mix of sci-fi and comedy all wrapped up into perfectly bite-sized 30-minute chunks. Now that the first season has wrapped up on Apple TV+, I've been left with a Murderbot-sized hole in my life that no other show has really been able to fill.
The good news is that Apple has gone ahead and renewed the series for a season 2, so we'll get to see more of Alexander Skarsgård's portrayal of the space-opera loving bot in the future. The bad news is there isn't any sort of release date for that yet. Fortunately for me, and other fans of the show, all of the Murderbot books and short stories still exist. And if you want to pick up the whole lot of them at once, there's a bundle available for just $18 that's worth checking out right now. The bundle includes more than just the Murderbot books and short stories, offering additional novels from author Martha Wells. All of the books in this bundle, if purchased separately, would cost around $155 but it's only $18 for the full bundle. The books themselves are digital, so you'll be able to download them and read them on your phone, computer, or reading tablet. $18 is the minimum you have to pay to get the full bundle, but there are a couple more tiers available for cheaper if you don't want all 14 novels on the list. $10 will get you three of the Murderbot books, and $1 will get you just the first book in the series. You can also choose to pay more than $18 and contribute the additional funds to charity. All nine of the books from Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries are included in this bundle, along with six other novels written by her. If you're looking for what specific order to read them in I'd recommend checking out the reading order here. All Systems Red is the first book in the series and follows the same storyline as the first season of the TV show. You can also read this book for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, which I'd recommend doing if you already have a subscription. If you haven't watched the show yet, the full first season is now available on Apple TV. Here's a quick snippet of what we thought in our IGN review of season 1: "Like its title character, Murderbot plays at being darker and more serious than it really is. And while plot momentum sometimes suffers from an over-dependance on a formulaic structure, the show is refreshingly light and life-affirming – especially for viewers who may see some of themselves in Murderbot’s cold detachment from humanity. It’s a wryly funny sci-fi comedy with a robot trying to understand humans, even if it would be easier to just kill them all instead." As with all Humble Bundles, a portion of the proceeds will go to charity. In the case of this particular bundle, the charity you'd be supporting is the World Central Kitchen. According to the charity's official website, World Central Kitchen is "first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises."The Murderbot Book Bundle Contents
