Summary

The number one best-selling series that Audible listeners call “wonderfully entertaining”, “packed with humor, geek references and thought-provoking storylines”, and performed by “a true master story teller and actor” returns as the Bobs face their deadliest challenge yet.

The Bobiverse is a different place in the aftermath of the Starfleet War, and the days of the Bobs gathering in one big happy moot are far behind. There’s anti-Bob sentiment on multiple planets, the Skippies playing with an AI time bomb, and multiple Bobs just wanting to get away from it all.

But it all pales compared to what Icarus and Daedalus discover on their 26,000-year journey to the center of the galaxy. Sure, it could settle the Fermi Paradox for good (and what Bob doesn’t want to solve a mystery of the universe?). But it also reveals a threat to the galaxy greater than anything the Bobs could have imagined.

Just another average day in the Bobiverse.

Sci-fi without forced conflict/despair

What I love about these books is that the Bobiverse isn't always hanging at a knives edge. Even large problems are fairly realistic in how they are approached.

Is there tension? Sure. Are there problems that need solving? Galore. Does the hero need to fight through the pain to defeat the bad guy or we're all doomed this very second? Thankfully no.

I love these books and as long as he keeps pumping them out I'll keep buying them. They're interesting, novel and thoughtful.

Bob is my hubby

Hits the spot every time. Im not the same age as original Bob so I don't get all the references but the ones that I do get are truly beautiful and makes me wanna be a Von Neuman probe every time.

Enjoyable but missing context confusing

Having read all the Bobbyverse series a very long time ago I found this book a good extension but there were so many references to historical events without any refresher, that it distracted from the overall story. Having said that there were a few times when I laughed out loud

exactly what I was looking for.

more of the same, bobs being bobs. lots of twists and turns and a real credit to the author for expanding the bobiverse and keeping the same feelings throughout.

Dennis still has it!

I did wonder how much story was left to tell in the bobiverse, but have always enjoyed the previous books. I need not have worried. This book was riveting from start to finish. Narration was as always perfect. If you enjoyed the previous books this one will not disappoint!

back to the best

loved the fact that the story was spread out over the whole Bobiverse and not centered on one planet, loose ends tied up and sets up the next book in a wonderful way.
