Murderbot here. Get your free Murderbot!
At the beginning of each month, the Tor.com eBook Club gives away a free sci-fi/fantasy ebook to club subscribers. We’re happy to announce that the pick for April 2018 is ALL SYSTEMS RED by Martha Wells, the first installment of her “Murderbot” sci-fi series!
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.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it’s up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.
ALL SYSTEMS RED is available from April 6, 12:01 AM ET to April 9, 11:59 PM ET.
Download before 11:59 PM ET April 9, 2018.
Get caught up on Murderbot’s adventures before the sequel ARTIFICIAL CONDITION arrives on May 8th!

The download file I get (tried .mobi and .ePub) is 22kb, and just the words “Tor.com’s ebook of the month club,” a couple site links, and a “source: file:///private/ etc.”
I have a major complaint about this book. It was too short!!! It felt a bit more like a novella and I went from start to finish in no time at all. It was a great read and you really got a feel for murderbot. Sadly, that means now I will not only have to read everything else about Murderbot but will have to check out the author’s other work. Damn you evil Tor and your freebies.
@2 Robert, it is a novella! The whole series is. Book 2 is out next month.
Great read. Quick read. I finished it in a couple of hours. Thanks for the book.
I’m so glad this was picked for the ebook club! Thanks for the book. I’ll definitely be purchasing book two.
I want to thank you for this. I finally read this in December and I was hooked. I have gotten the rest of the series and I only have #4 to read yet.
