I’ve just finished reading the last of the books, and I’m pretty excited to see what they do with the series.

    There are seven books, but five of them are novellas, and only two are novels, so you can read them pretty quickly. The Wikipedia page has them all listed with a synopsis of each, so you could probably figure out where you left off.

    I read them in publishing order, but the sixth one is a prequel to the fifth one. Here’s the publishing order:

    • All Systems Red (2017)
    • Artificial Condition (2018)
    • Rogue Protocol (2018)
    • Exit Strategy (2018)
    • Network Effect (2020)
    • Fugitive Telemetry (2021)
    • System Collapse (2023)

    There are also three short stories that I haven’t read yet.

        They’re under a section called “novels,” but the text makes it pretty clear:

        The first book of the series, All Systems Red, was published in May 2017. A sequel, Artificial Condition, was released on May 8, 2018,[1] followed by Rogue Protocol on August 7, 2018.[2][3] The next installment, Exit Strategy, was released on October 2, 2018.[4] Wells noted in 2017 that the four novellas “do have an overarching story, with the fourth one bringing the arc to a conclusion.”[1] A full-length Murderbot novel , Network Effect, was released on May 5, 2020.[5][6][7]
