The epic and highly anticipated conclusion to the listener-favorite series that had countless Audible listeners (and employees) hooked from the very first Bob – featuring, as always, a flawless performance from the inimitable Ray Porter.
Being a sentient spaceship really should be more fun. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can’t stay out of trouble.
They’ve created enough colonies so humanity shouldn’t go extinct. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper.
Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others.
Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. A couple of eighth-generation Bobs have found something out in deep space. All it will take to save the Earth and perhaps all of humanity is for them to get it to Sol – unless the Others arrive first.
All These Worlds is the third installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series – which has sold more than one million copies.

Title: Fun ending to a great thrilogy, but there are 4 books!
Review: I had a great time with this one.it was well written, fast paced and i loved the different story archs off all the bobs.I wasn’t ready to “finish” the trilogy, because i already have the 4th book in my possession and thought that there will be a continuation of this particular narrative, but the way this book ends has a feeling that this is the conclusion of the story.I jumped straight into reading this one after finishing the second one, but I doubt I’ll keep on going, like I said, it feels like a conclusion of sorts.I would love to see some more Deltan evolution because that is what is so fun about speculation and evolution, but this book signs off nicely regarding that aspect.A bit of a spoiler…I did feel like defeating the others was a bit too “easy” and simple at the end, but I’m still OK with that.All in all, its a good read, fun and quick and nice to run through it.

Title: The Others!
Review: Book 3 wraps up some story arcs while leaving the door open for new ones. Many, many years have passed since Book 2. I think weâre on 8th generation Bobs now, but most of our time is spent with the original Bobs. Bridgette has made a big choice that affects humanity, followed by another one that affects the Bobs. Thereâs still very few female characters in this story but I have hopes the next book will get us a few more.The heat between the Bobs (and humanity) and the Others has ramped up. Looks like we need to put an end to their aggression! But the Others are way more advanced than the Bobs, so itâs going to be a tough fight. However, the Bobs put a sooner-rather-than-later target on their backs as they swoop in and save another species before the Others can do their destructive thing. I really liked some of the questions the rescue of the Pav brings up. Like they had no say in the matter â if it should be done or how it should be done. A lot of that was due to time constraints, but it makes me think of Star Trek and the moral issues of âinterferingâ with less tech advanced species.Meanwhile, thereâs a big plan to deal with the Others. Icarus and Daedalus (some later generation Bobs) are central to that plan. It was cool to see what a Bob Hero looks like on such a big scale. Speaking of heroes, thereâs still Medeiros, the Brazilian probe, to deal with. Despite how that turns out in this book, I have a small hope we see Medeiros one more time, but for a redemption story.I liked the jaunt over to Poseidon where the government has become a rather invasive and controlling force. While this was a small part of the story, I couldnât help but think of some of the passive surveillance modern human societies deal with. Over all, it was a fun addition to the series. 4.5/5 stars.The Narration: Ray Porter continues to do Bob justice. My only tiny quibble is that I still have trouble keeping all the Bobs straight when several are in the same conversation. Still loving Bridgetteâs accent. I really like Bobâs serious nature, with all the big decisions made in this book. Bobâs emotional response to saying goodbye to the Deltans was also done very well. The pacing was perfect & there were no tech issues with the recording. 4.5/5 stars.

Title: Excellent Space Based Sci Fi Series
Review: Again, very well researched and an excellent balance of theoretical science, character development, and action. This was exactly the type of series I was looking to read and the rest of the series is just as good. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a good space based sci fi series to read.Warning: SpoilersThe conflict between the Bobs and the Others was a little cliche, but the author made it unique and did a good job of it. It does rely a bit on other sci fi work and pop culture references, but makes up for it with the well researched theoretical science. The mix of conflict, exploration, and a variety of threats that the main characters had to face was great. The main concept of the replicants and the continuous debate about them throughout the series was very well thought out. The only parts that I did not like about the series was the extreme focus that Bob-1 has on the Deltans and his non-existent involvement in the conflict with the Others. I also wish that the story had led to the Bobs discovering another peaceful space based intelligent species, maybe shortly after their victory with the Others, but it was still a good ending. Again, highly recommend for sci fi enthusiasts.

Title: fandom fun
Review: genre: science fiction, humorThis is a fun hard scifi series full of nerdy nods to nearly every fandom you can think of. If you are a science fiction fan, these are for us! I admit to being a bit bored with book 1, but the series has grown on me as it moves along.I think my biggest complaint is just keeping all the different Bobs straight — what is each one doing and where. But Taylor certainly doesn’t leave me hanging, including hints that help with the confusion. There’a also a few tips of the hat to the problem, as the characters themselves admit to difficulties among the growing Bob-flock.Book 3 is full of action on all the Bob fronts. Conflict on planets and across the stars. Bobs just can’t stay away from trouble!

Review: I’ve been thinking about posthumanism for the past 15 years or so… this is the first sci fi author that gets where we are going right. (Except I tink I know how to get around the initial transfer of conciousness from bio to artificial issue. Hint, microbot injections to gradually highjack natural neuron replacement, yay biomimickry) anyway, good stuff.

Review: Creative narrative , futuristic setting, technological possibility, just nudging the unreal with enough credible plots and majorly fuels the questions of tech singularity, good over evil, humaneness and I think god (Bob, rhyme much)
