About this listen

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.

A tad disappointing

A welcome return to the Bobiverse, that sadly, after a very strong opening, this one suffers from lack of clear focus. Too much filler essentially, with the Dragons thread in particular feeling like a retread of old ground.. Still worth a listen, but some of the magic is missing.

A fairly bland bobiverse book

i get the impression that the bobiverse has run out of steam. The three or so plots are pretty vanilla and nothing much really happens. Theres no real climax or twist. I don't think this book was really needed.

Eagerly awaited new entry!

Really enjoyed this entry in the Bobiverse, admittedly it dies feel as if the focus of this book was to set the stage for what's to come in future books. I truly enjoy this series and can't wait for more.

I Think this is lost

I have listened to the Bobiverse books multiple times, the first three were a master piece of story telling , and heavens river was a good follow up, this however, seems to be a collection of story ideas that didn't make it to a full book thrown together in the hopes that it will make a full book. The whole sub plot around the dragons went no where at all, and seems to have been shoehorned in a filler. I do not think I will be re listening to this one anytime soon.

Wonderful Bobiverse, but left feeling something mi

Perfect narration from Ray Porter as usual.
Something a bit lacklustre in the main storyline. How long is the delay going to be for the next chapter?
Wish chapter details included at least the 'which Bob', the awful 'update'to include the ridiculous 'shake to wake' has made rewinding an absolute pain. (Does ANYONE use it?)
Wish the 'update' to reviews hadn't been issued and reviews could still allow expression of agreement.

Thank you BOB!

Brilliant, can't wait for another! There are so many books that I started and never finished or barely finished because I couldn't find anything else at the time. This is not one of those, this is one that I will be waiting for the next book and the next after that and so on with huge impatience. Through out the series this science fiction story unlike most others I came across concentrates on discovery rather than military action with clear progression from our current civilization level and into the future figuring out science mysteries or answering questions we ask ourselves today about the universe in the most logicaly satisfying but also creative way. Brilliant story telling and the sense of humour is also adding to the enjoyment. Narrating by Ray Porter is what makes it to come alive and turns it into a movie that I can watch in my head with my eyes closed while listening. Ray Porter is one of the narrators that I often pick a book by regardless of the author or the title. Thank You Dennis E. Tailor and Ray Porter it takes both of you to make the Bobiverse to what it is today ;)

A lot better than the trip to beaver land

Finally we're back on tracking with the bigger picture.
The story does zoom in a bit to much on some small aspects, but it doesn't crash land there, more of a flyby this time. The only negative is the length and the waiting time untill the next book is released.

Nerd dream

One of the finest works of sci-fi ficton i have ever read. Its serious and at the same time humorus, its technical and at the same time simple. Anyone looking for a long audio collection should start at We are Bob.
