Dennis E. Taylor
Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender's fate-whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob's descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore. Some of them oppose Bob's plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the Bobiverse's problems. Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender's trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe-or pose an existential threat the likes of which the Bobiverse has never faced.

"I loved the B story about the replicating drift between Bobs and how that was affecting their expanding universe. I hated the A story that was so focused on the minutia of the Quinland (spelled how it sounded as this was an audio book) world and all that Bob had to do there to get a fellow Bob out. I found myself pressing the 30 second skip button to get past all the details that could easily have been summarized regarding disguises, attitudes, equipment, gear, drinks and food, etc. Just hard to get through because the main story was a bit boring. I may not pick up the next book. This series was great as a trilogy."
