[Steve]

Submit your nominations for July 2024 Novella of the Month. At the end of the week, I’ll take the nominees and publish a poll for the group to select.

If you guys don’t nominate … I will throw nominees out there, but … would like to see your thoughts. I don’t really want to steer the boat here half as much as I have been.

Well, ... no one nominated anything. I understand that these aren't the easiest thing to find, and not on everyone's radar. I made a poll with a list of some novellas.

Sarcastically channeling Gomer Pyle: Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
The next Murderbot Diaries book (#3) was selected by the group for novella of the month.



Publisher's Summary
The third thrilling book in the increasingly popular Murderbot Diaries, which began with All Systems Red.

Sci-fi's favorite antisocial AI is back on a mission. 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.

Martha Wells' Rogue Protocol is the third in the Murderbot Diaries series, starring a humanlike android who keeps getting sucked back into adventure after adventure, though it just wants to be left alone, away from humanity and small talk.

Listen to Rogue Protocol and find out why Hugo Award winner Ann Leckie wrote, "I love Murderbot!"

I loved it the first time but never rated it reviewed it. Will have to go back in for a quick reread.
