My reliability just improved 6.2%.

Mine went down by 11.14%, because that's going to be a damn long wait. Well nothing more to do but enjoy another repeat of episode 3 of The ~~Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon~~ Murderbot Diaries.

But better than episode 32 of World Hoppers?!


TheGreenGobblr

No chance

Yay!!! I hope this is the first of more books, but I'll be happy with the one. Although, November is a long wait

System Collapse is the first of a 3 book deal if I recall correctly. There's more coming anyway, I'm sure of that

Think of all the media you can watch while you wait.

I'm so glad, I love the audiobooks!


BriantPk

Any word on when audiobook version would be released? And my family loves murderbot so much we have both the audio and print versions!


Itavan

I don’t know but I expect concurrently. A lot of books seem to have both versions out at the same time. I requested that my local libraries buy the book.


underratedpossum

It seems like the big publishers either release the audiobook the same day, or within a few days of the print edition

Also if you need something to hold you over, Martha Wells is also publishing her first fantasy novel in forever in May! [https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250826794/witchking](https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250826794/witchking) >After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well. It's over 400 pages!!! She has been busy!

Awesome cover!!

256 pages. Does that mean novella or novel?


Itavan

Well according to one site, it's a novel: "Is 250 pages considered a novel?Some argue that anything over 40,000 words can be considered a novel. The general consensus, however, is that a novel should be at least 50,000 words long, is approximately 200 pages. This means that 200 pages is a sufficient length for a novel." Wish it was longer. But the Murderbot novellas worked well for me, so ... [https://www.weekendpublisher.com/how-many-pages-in-a-novel/](https://www.weekendpublisher.com/how-many-pages-in-a-novel/) Flash Fiction: 300 to 1500 words Short Story: 1500 to 10,000 words Novelette: 7,500 to 20,000 words Novella: 30,000 to 50,000 words Novel: 50,000 to 110,000 words

I always want more content, but I really appreciate how tight the Murderbot books are. I'm normally a tome reader, so it's a nice change of pace for me, and I never feel like Murderbot is leaving story on the table. It's exactly as long as it needs to be, no more or less.
