Excited to see that both PLATFORM DECAY by Martha Wells and TWELVE MONTHS by Jim Butcher are part of this amazing line up of Amazon’s Best Science Fiction Fantasy for 2026!

Washington Post: “It’s fun when slight little shows — especially comedies — overperform by improving on a silly premise. In Apple TV’s goofy space dystopia, “Murderbot,” Alexander Skarsgard plays a crabby, semi-obsolete “SecUnit” (or “private security construct” — sort of a computer with human tissue) that started the series by quietly rebelling against its overlords. Specifically, it hacked its “governor module” to watch a bunch of movies and TV, and it must now hide its newfound sentience (and fandom) from the incompetent humans it’s forced to protect. The series was one of the year’s weirder and more successful television experiments. Created by Weitz brothers Paul and Chris (who also made “American Pie” and “About a Boy”) the show, an adaptation of the first book of Martha Wells’s “The Murderbot Diaries,” makes extraordinary — and original, and very funny — use of Skarsgard’s almost inhumanly handsome and distant screen presence.”
