For We Are Many

Executive Summary: Another fun entry in this series. Not quite as good as the first book, but still has me looking forward to the next one.

Audiobook: Ray Porter once again does a good job here. He's speaks clearly at a good volume and with good inflection. He does a few voices, though as most of the characters are variations of Bob, he doesn't go too crazy with it.

Full Review
My one complaint with the first book was too much time with Bob 2.0, and not enough time with Bill. This book definitely had more Bill. I also found Bob's story more interesting than in the first book. For me the real draw continues to be the exploration, and the overarching story of human colonization.

This book introduced some interesting new Bobs. In particular Howard. That may have been my favorite subplot this go round. I'm impressed at how well Mr. Taylor explores variations on the same character such that most of the Bobs feel distinct from each other, yet still similar enough to feel like they are still Bob.

Things get set up nicely for what I believe will be the final book. I'm very eager to see where things go. Depending on how it ends, I wouldn't mind if he did another series set in the same universe. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the AI develops over time.

Overall I highly recommend this series if you're looking for some fun Space Opera with geeky Easter Eggs.
