The bundle includes more than just the Murderbot books and short stories, offering additional novels from author Martha Wells. All of the books in this bundle, if purchased separately, would cost around $155 but it's only $18 for the full bundle. The books themselves are digital, so you'll be able to download them and read them on your phone, computer, or reading tablet.
$18 is the minimum you have to pay to get the full bundle, but there are a couple more tiers available for cheaper if you don't want all 14 novels on the list. $10 will get you three of the Murderbot books, and $1 will get you just the first book in the series. You can also choose to pay more than $18 and contribute the additional funds to charity.

All nine of the books from Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries are included in this bundle, along with six other novels written by her. I've gone ahead and marked which books are part of that series above, but if you're looking for what specific order to read them in I'd recommend checking out the reading order here. All Systems Red is the first book in the series and follows the same storyline as the first season of the TV show.
If you haven't watched the show yet, the full first season is now available on Apple TV. Here's a quick snipped of what we thought in our IGN review of season 1:
"Like its title character, Murderbot plays at being darker and more serious than it really is. And while plot momentum sometimes suffers from an over-dependance on a formulaic structure, the show is refreshingly light and life-affirming – especially for viewers who may see some of themselves in Murderbot’s cold detachment from humanity. It’s a wryly funny sci-fi comedy with a robot trying to understand humans, even if it would be easier to just kill them all instead."
