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.

An Absolute brilliant ride

I absolutely loved this book. As a fan of the Author I have just fallen more and more in love with his books. The books was witty and hilarious. And the narrator is a blast.
Dennis E Taylor is in my opinion kne of the best authors of modern times. The more I listened to the Book the more anxious I because because I just didn't want it to end... ever.

Story4 out of 5 stars 11
For centuries the gods of the Undersea ruled the islands of the Myriad through awe and terror: they were very real, and very dangerous. Sacrifices were hurled into the waters to appease them, and every boat was painted with pleading eyes to entreat their mercy. They were served, feared and adored. Then, 30 years ago, the gods rose up in madness and tore each other apart. Now, none remain. The islands have recovered and the people have patched their battered ships and moved on.

I really loved this book.
It started off strong but waned a little bit in the middle making it a bit hard to get through but the underlying message of the human spirit was really good. The Jelt character is really hard to deal with though. Overall the story is gripping, fun, and well paced.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36,093
Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. 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.

The Headline says it all.
I absolutely loved this 4th piece of the Bobiverse.
I started lit very cautiously with this series and it VERY quickly became my favourite book series ever.
I recommend it for any and all sci-fi lovers.
The story moves at a good pace, I was a bit sad about the internal bobiverse issues but it seems so natural.
The performance was stellar.

Beelzebub, the prince of demons, is bored. It's his destiny to one day rule the dark underworld known as the Red Realm, but it's sooo boring down there. All he wants to do is lay around all day in the lava pits (ahhh), boss everyone around (rude!), and maybe play a cruel prank (or two). But Beelzebub's father has had it with his son's nasty attitude. No one backtalks the Red King. NO ONE. A disgraced Beelzebub is banished by his father and cursed to spend his days in the worst place either of them can imagine. EARTH.

Reviewed: 10-09-20
As an adult I got this book from the audible original, not really thinking it would be aimed directly at young teenagers considering the content but regardless it was a blast to listen to. The story moves really fast and is very reminiscent of the old scary books I read as a child.
It was fun and remarkably funny to listen to. I really with there was more.

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine, was just their hometown: familiar, well ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

The book was thoroughly enjoyable. I felt trepidation going into it considering the length but it was a breeze to listen to. The narrator can sometimes be a but pitchy but he is excellent in presenting the terror the children must feel, I found myself experiencing actual fear sometimes.

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.

What a final book.
I listened to the entire thing in 3 days, I literally could not stop. Worth every minute and recommended a thousand times over. The performance is endlessly entertaining and the characters beautifully created. I will listen to this series again and again.

Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

Yet another amazing trip into the Bobiverse.
It is getting a little hard to keep track of who is where but luckily the author and narrator provide excellent context.
This is a must read for any person who loves Sci-fi.
Definitely comparable to Arthus C Clarke in utter epic scale.

There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Reviewed: 10-31-19
This was an incredible book. I have watched the film multiple times and loved it, but the book just makes it so much better. The book and the film are excellent compliments to one another and I recommend it to any person who has enjoyed either the book or the film.
The only difficulty is listening to the 5th story about Sonmi, the voice of the archivist is grating at first but one gets used to it as the story progresses. Will definitely listen to this again.

I got a bit lost around the 10th and 11th books. But it catches up nicely. It was fun to technically be on the side of the villains. Especially sinxe the are so lovable.
A great listen.
