MB wakes up, time unclear but at least 1 cycle had passed due to flight time between DeltFall and PresAux habitats Rescue Team begin flight to DeltFall (as they flew through the night)ĪSR 4 - Arrive at DeltFall habitat at dawn, presumably all events happen within the cycle.Trip to missing map sections occurs, presumably takes most of the day. Mensah and MB have first meaningful conversationĪSR 2 - MB repaired, awkward conversations are had, PresAux analyze the information packet All Systems Red-Īpproximately 35,000 hours since MB hacked its gov modĪSR 1 - Hostile 1 attacks Drs Bharadwaj and Volescu. The details are vague but contain enough information that you can tell what happened on each cycle, including the end of each book. Spoilers for All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, Rogue Protocol, and Exit Strategy of The Murderbot Diaries. I will probably go back and do Network Effect at some point, but the timeline information in that book is not presented as chronologically as in the first 4 Novellas, so it’s a bit trickier.

Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this blog’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.I suddenly was struck with the urge to determine exactly how much time passes in each of the first 4 novellas of the Murderbot Diaries and how much time passed total between them. I’m always left with a satisfied smile and a hunger for more when I complete one of these books.Įxtremely highly recommended – this seems to draw this part of the novellas to a close, next is a short ‘ Home: Habitat, Range, Niche, Territory’ followed by a full length novel ‘ Network Effect’ which I am really looking forward to. I mean as well as passing a law for higher level artificial intelligences/bots for independence.

On a side note: I want a Murderbot and ART team up again, and I want to meet some aliens, or at least get into some alien archaeological sites/tech. I really want this pairing to grow and develop even more. She seems to respect Murderbot in all its expression of existing. I kind of get a sense of a small crush between Mancha and Murderbot – whether it be friendship or a one-sided romantic crush. Hat’s off the Martha Wells for crafting such a wonderful character and addictive series. He is more complex and developed that many other protagonists I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing in my reading journey.

Murderbot is showing courage, bravery, loyalty and self-sacrifice… and sarcasm.
