<p><b>Experience the first four volumes of Martha Wells's <i>New York Times</i> bestselling and award-winning Murderbot Diaries together in a hardcover boxset.<br></b><br> <b>Now an Apple TV+ series starring Alexander Skarsgård!<br></b><br> <i>"As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure."<br></i><br> In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.<br> <br> But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn't always a primary concern...<br> <br> <b><i>All Systems Red</i></b>: On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid -- a self-aware SecUnit that refers to itself (though never out loud) as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to stream its favorite shows. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.<br> <br> <b><i>Artificial Condition</i></b>: Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue. What it discovers will forever change the way it thinks...<br> <br> <b>Rogue Protocol</b>: The case against the too-big-to-fail GrayCris Corporation is floundering, and more importantly, authorities are beginning to ask more questions about where Dr. Mensah's SecUnit is. And Murderbot would rather those questions went away. For good.<br> <br> <b><i>Exit Strategy</i></b>: Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah--its former owner (protector? friend?)--submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who's going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue?</p>
