Book Review: We Are Legion (We Are Bob) (Bobiverse #1) by Dennis E. Taylor
Four Stars
“They wanted me dead. It seemed to me that the Golden Rule applied. Time to reciprocate.”
Ripping good space opera/apocalypse tale. Lots of fun action as well as reflections about what/who we are. Heavy handed on stereotyping, but “Stereotypes are good first order approximations.”
“The backup was a digital attempt to save an analog phenomena.” (of a digital attempt to replicate an analog phenomena)
Engaging storytelling. Multi-threads, excellent pacing. Nice volume close with sufficient hooks to draw readers into the next installment.
“Deltans didn’t react to UFOs any better than humans would.”
Quibble: “… bring some icebergs from Saturn.” Why do science fiction writers searching for water in our solar system always ignore Ceres? We’ve known it has as much water as earth for decades.
“People’s capacity for turning dogmatic stupidity into political movements never ceased to amaze me.” (Not limited to politics and theology.)
I’m in the middle of this one and so far, totally agree with you. It’s a good one! Have you read the rest of the series?
Yes. Reviews to follow.
