Part of Bobiverse, book 5
First published 2025
The Bobiverse has changed after the Starfleet War. The days when all Bobs could gather peacefully are gone. Anti-Bob feelings spread across multiple worlds. The Skippies toy with dangerous AI technology. Many Bobs want to escape the chaos entirely. But these problems shrink when Icarus and Daedalus complete their epic 26,000-year voyage to the galaxy's center. Their discovery could finally explain the Fermi Paradox, answering why the universe seems so empty of intelligent life. Every Bob loves solving cosmic mysteries. Yet what they find reveals a danger bigger than anything the Bobs have faced before. This threat could destroy the entire galaxy. The scattered Bob collective must somehow unite against this unprecedented enemy while dealing with their fractured relationships and hostile neighbors.
