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.

Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Story5 out of 5 stars 952
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Jack Kernigan is having a bad day...a bad year...a bad life. After being booted out of MIT, he’s back in his Ohio hometown, working for the family business, facing a life of mediocrity. Then one day, out on a delivery, his truck hits...something. Something big...something furry...something invisible. And, it turns out, something not of this Earth. Fate can play funny tricks. Which is why Jack suddenly finds himself the planet’s best hope to unravel a conspiracy of galactic proportions that could spell the end of the human race.

Closure, yet so many new doors opened...
An excellent continuation of the Bobiverse series. Excellent writing by Dennis and as always, a excellent presentation by Ray.
The story give closure to some of the threads opened in earlier books, but sure opens up the world to more adventures in the future. Looking forward to the next book in the series, may it arrive soon.

Not as good as the others
I don’t want to say it’s his worst one as I love the Bobiverse, so I’ll say it’s his least best! Just felt this one didn’t really go anywhere with multiple meh storylines. Didn’t capture me like the others. As always the performance was excellent. Hoping this one was just a builder for the next one. Keep them coming!

Worth the wait!
I waited up until midnight of Sept 5th for Book 5 to appear in my library to listen to… and then 1am…. and then gave up and when I woke at 6am it was there! The Bobiverse is the only SciFi series that I have re-read as many times as Asimov’s Foundation (probably more) and this newest volume is just as smart, technical, human, and funny as it’s predecessors. Big fan of Dennis E Taylor’s work and had high expectations for this book. “You rang?” asked one of the Guppies, and Dennis totally answered with Not Till We Are Lost. (I will now re-listen to it and patiently wait again for Book 6.) PS: Once again loved your performance Ray Porter. You can narrate my life anytime. You are the true voice of “The BOB.”

More light Bobiverse fun!
Great, fun book - just like you’d expect. Maybe read the one before to get caught up. There were a few times where I couldn’t remember what had happened previously.

Uh-Oh
This book just came out I finished it and already want more. Love the BOBS and the world building involved in this series!! The only "flaw" in my opinion is that it seemed to end a bit abruptly, I felt like a few more chapters would have rounded things out a bit better. That said, I'll be first in line for the next one and I would recommend this series to anyone!

Fun, thoughtful sci fi
I’ve really enjoyed all of the books in the Bobiverse series and this is no exception. A mix of action, fun, science and physics all tied together with a lighthearted, sarcastic wit. I’m already looking forward to the next book in this series.
