Meet Bob, one of the most likable heroes in contemporary science fiction.

As with the previous books, this in most part deals with the technological, cultural and socio-political development of pre-space fairing civilizations.Published by Audible Original Genres: Science-Fiction, Hard Science-Fiction And as mentioned before, the historic elements have a large prevalence due to the Dentan-esque subplot in the novel. Although with Heaven's River expect this ratio to be skewed in favor of land and naval based set-pieces. It covers all types of action ranging from land, sea, space all the way to cyber-space. Action on the other hand more or less sticks to the same formula which has thus far worked very well. While also dealing with the rapid social changes happening within the bobiverse itself. The drama oriented portions of the novel are largely dedicated to the socio-political interactions between the Bobs and the two space-faring civilizations within their domain, so humans and the pav. The three largest components of the novel's sub-genre composition are drama, action and historic elements. Sub-genre wise Heaven's River is quite similar to We are Legion, Bobiverse book 1. But in the end we got a story more similar in tone and theme to Bob-1's Dealtan subplot from the previous books. It was known in advance that the novel would center around the search for Bender, so I kinda expected it to be more space exploration focused. One thing that really caught me off guard about Heaven's River was its general thematic direction. As was hinted in the novel's blurb, Bob-1 retakes the spotlight in Heaven's River with practically 60% of the book dedicated to his point-of-view.

And naturally you'll also meet several new Bobs throughout the book's length as well as a couple new non-Bob characters. Of course, it goes without saying that other already established Bobs are present as well, just in a smaller role.

Many beloved characters from the previous books make a reappearance in Heaven's River, most notable of which are Bob-1, Bill, Garfield, Riker, Howard and Bridgett. Although this volume also brings a sort of spy thriller spin to the Bobiverse formula. In terms of genre, Heaven's River still falls into the adventure sci-fi category like the rest of the series.
