[Schedule] Bonus Book- Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells (+ Short Stories)

[u/spreebiz]

Hello to all humans, bots, and other constructs!

We're returning to The Murderbot Diaries with the sixth in the series, Fugitive Telemetry, as well as some short stories that we didn't slot in before Network Effect. Chronologically, this book takes place between Exit Strategy and Network Effect, but was released after Network Effect. Links to the short stories will be included below, but they can be found at online sellers or some e-libraries as well.  u/thebowedbookshelf and I will be running this in the month of August across two check-ins.

• August 10- Discussion with u/thebowedbookshelf
  • Compulsory (behind a Wired paywall) takes place prior to All Systems Red
  • Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory takes place chronologically between Exit Strategy and Fugitive Telemetry
  • Chapters 1-4
• August 17- Chapter 5 to the End with u/spreebiz

If you're participating in 2025 Book Bingo, Fugitive Telemetry will count for the following squares: Published in the 2020s, Bonus Book, Science Fiction, Prize Winner, and Female Author. We started this series back in October 2023, and read the last novel, Network Effect, in April 2025. If you need a refresher for the previous discussions, you can find them linked here:

Hope you all will join us!

Looks like it's showing starting on August 6th instead of the 10th for me. The description is correct.

Arg! I don’t even know how I did that. Fixed now - thanks!
