Publisher's summary

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. Some of them oppose Bob’s plan; others have plans of their own. The out-of-control moots are the least of the Bobiverse’s problems.

Undaunted, Bob and his allies follow Bender’s trail. But what they discover out in deep space is so unexpected and so complex that it could either save the universe - or pose an existential threat the likes of which the Bobiverse has ever faced.

Heaven’s River is the fourth installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series - which has sold more than one million copies.

As Skippy would say, five stars, duhhhh!!!

If you’re like me you got up early the day this was released and are already done with it. If for some reason you listened to the first three and are on the fence about getting the long awaited fourth installment, rest assured it is well worth the credit! Fantastic book Dennis and great performance as always by Ray!

Spectacular

I marathoner listened to the book today. Just finished. It holds up just as wonderfully as the original three books. Loved it.

Bobiverse Does It Again!!!

I love the Bobiverse books, and this one didn't disappoint me. Halfway into it, I felt like there was a lack of a real threat, but as the story kept progressing, the potential of a main antagonist to the Bobiverse kept emerging. However, the author likes to constantly mislead with various plot twists, which I sincerely enjoyed. This book did do an amazing job at getting me to hate Starfleet, which I found to be a bit hilarious. Unlike many of the books I've been listening to, this one did not end in a major cliff hanger but did leave itself wide open for future novels. My only disappointment is that I'm now done and will have to wait for another sequel.

The Bobiverse Keeps Expanding

I like the narrator and the way this is performed. The story was fantastic, as we've all been wondering what happened to the BOBS since the last book. I liked the fact that their was replicative drift amongst them, even though it makes for an ominous future. Diversity is the key to making a good story great. Likewise, the attention to details, the scientific theories, and each Bobs' divergent personalities makes an otter chase scene seem as fun as exploring the universe.

Well bob

I love these books! I can’t recommend them enough!
I look forward to re listening again and again!

end was a major disappointment

good overall just left you feel like nothing was resolved. worth the credit tho just be warned

Far too long, really droned on

This should have been less that half as long as it was because there just wasn’t enough content. The author forgets that we already know Bob, so we don’t need all the internal dialog with catch phrases. The author kept marveling at the same ideas over and over, adding nothing to the story. If you read the other Bob books, you don’t need to read this one.

Another Great Chapter From The Bobiverse.

Another great story about the Bobs. This next chapter in the Bobiverse saga is as good as the rest. New characters are introduced, old characters are further developed. The Bobiverse is NOT a cookie cutter series with a lot of filler and minimal story arc . I loved the nod to the "Expeditionary Force" series with the "beer can" and "Skippy" references. The Bobiverse is definitely worthy of credit expenditure. Looking forward to the next installment!

bob's back but it's just a heists

love going back to a place with familiar faces that I love buuuut it's a lot of things happening with out much plot movement. not the best work starting to feel stale like the magic 2.0 and skippy series did for me.

Great throughout all books.

I thought there was a chance, by book four, Taylor was just trying to make money by continuing this series. BUT, truly it is a great story. Just as captivating as the previous books. I’m very happy I stumbled upon this series. I hope there are more. Also, I want to replicate. Please choose me.
