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.

This series continues to captivate me. While keeping track of the multiple generations of Bob can be challenging, I always find myself disappointed when I reach the end of a book and realize there are no more installments to read.
I thoroughly enjoyed the latest book. My only criticism is that the ending felt abrupt and lacked a clear resolution in terms of its content and storyline.
The Bobiverse series is my favourite, always leaving me eager for the next book.
While I can't give it a full 5-star rating because there's often a storyline involving one of the Bobs that doesn't fully capture my interest, this doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment.
Each Bob has their own adventures, and while these can be significant, they don't disrupt the main narrative if you choose not to focus on them.
It can be challenging to keep track of all the Bobs and their plotlines, especially if it's been a while since reading the last book.
Despite this, the series remains incredibly engaging and enjoyable.
The 5th installment of the Bobiverse is a total banger!
With the threat of the Others behind them, there are new risks and challenges coming from every direction, even from within the Bob like itself. One set of Bobs discovers a wormhole network that leads them to discover an existential threat so large that it literally changes everything. Meanwhile replicative drift causes the Skippies to go off on their own and they create a new enemy from within that is a threat of almost the same level.
Hard not to give spoilers by going any further. Let's just say that if you're a fan of the Bobiverse books, it's unlikely you'll be disappointed in book 5. I enjoyed it more than Heaven's River.
