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.

I insta-ordered the pre-order and it just dropped!

I've been reading science fiction for 40 years and this is a series that I can visit, then revisit, over and over. I love the world that Taylor has built. Heaven's River was such a great book and this book perfectly incorporated that world into this new story. As always, Ray Porter gives a masterful performance. I'm sure I'll be giving this book a re-read (listen) that I have enjoyed with the other books in the Bobiverse.

I bought this book some time ago and have had it on my shelf, I think I listened for 15 minutes or so just to confirm it was worthwhile and made a mental note that it was and somehow never circled back. I was recently digging through my library trying to find a reference I'd remembered listening to last year and pulled this book up to see if it was what I was looking for. That was yesterday, and I'm already done with it. For the record, it wasn't the reference I was looking for. I don't even remember what I was looking for.
I am absolutely kicking myself for not finishing this title the day I bought it. This book delivers pro-tips and real, tactical value, to whatever position you currently find yourself in. This book delivers not a description of how it could be, but a spooky insight to where you're at, instruction on how to get to where you want to be.
The narration was of the perfect cadence and tone that allowed me to just ingest this fire hose of information. Just a really great job by both the author and performer. At some point I just gave up talking notes and timestamps having fully realized that I'd be listening to this again.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Throughout the course of his ordeal battling esophageal cancer, Christopher Hitchens adamantly and bravely refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with both eyes open. In this riveting account of his affliction, Hitchens poignantly describes the torments of illness, discusses its taboos, and explores how disease transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us. By turns personal and philosophical, Hitchens embraces the full panoply of human emotions as cancer invades his body and compels him to grapple with the enigma of death.

I was missing Hitch near the anniversary of his death. I had to pause this essay a few times to watch it on YouTube. I miss you, Mr. Hitchens!
