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 imagine this series wouldn't be fun for everyone, but if you've been enjoying rollicking sci-fi since the 1960s like I have, I'd say you'll have a more than satisfying time with the Bobiverse.
This entry shows that Taylor's imagination is coming up with new wrinkles and he's fully exploring the way various players will react to the Bobs.
I had something in my eye at the end..... loved it.
hätte auch losgelöst vom Bobiversum erzählt werden können. Wahrscheinlich hätte ich dem Buch vier Sterne gegeben, wenn ich nicht ein Gewisse (unberechtigte) Erwartungshaltung gehabt hätte.
