Miguel | 9 comments Hi! This book doesn’t belong to The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. Thank you!


message 2: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8608 comments Is there a Murderbot story in it?


message 3: by Miguel (new)

Miguel | 9 comments Not at all. Synopsis or reviews din’t mention Murderbot. There’s already a #0.1 Murderbot Diaries


message 4: by Scott (new)

Scott | 8608 comments Well... I don't want to remove it as it might still be connected.
Maybe someone more familiar with her work will chime in.


message 5: by Miguel (new)

Miguel | 9 comments I did read almost all books in the Murderbot Diaries series from Martha Wells. This other book is about health. Murderbot are sci-fi novels.

Quick intro of Take us to a better place:
A profound and unforgettable original story collection about well-being and the future of health and the planet. With a foreword by bestselling author Roxane Gay and an introduction from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Pam Belluck. Offered to readers free by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Intro of Murderbot Diaries:
'As a heartless killing machine, I was a complete failure.' First, read the first two stories that started the Murderbot phenomenon in All Systems Red and Artificial Condition! On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid ― a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

Hi Scott, can you please review my last message. I'm 100% positive the book is not part of the Murderbot series. I even read the first chapter. Thanks
