First off I would like to thank your for such a amazingly original idea and story. The theory of everything from multiple Bobs leading different lives, the idea of what each one would do in a situation, and the shear amount of self discovery. I always wished that i had the time to do so many thing but always being limited to plain ole me, but Bob is not limited to this and i love that, From exploration to the printers able to get him the things that he needs to accomplish his goals. I applaud you for being a genius and i look forward to another fine tale involving Bob and the science fiction to yet one day become reality, and from the cover art it looks like so many exciting things are about to happen i’m literally losing it in anticipation. Please do not rush for us however and enjoy yourself. Because i mean and i quote “How are you supposed to feel if you are forced to do what you would have done anyway”
I work at NASA and this book is amazing. Please make a movie deal. It reminds me of Ready Player One… So good and unique and up with the times. I love it.
I wonder if it wouldn’t work as a tv series. I mean there is ultimate potential in episodes based on each bob’s adventures. By doing it as a series, you move away from the need to explain everything about the story at every episode… etc.
I think it could work! As long as the rights to admiral ackbar are secured. haha
Placed my preorder on Audible. By far one of my favorite Audible books and I own the kindle version. And Ray Porter brings the characters to life in such amazing ways. I cannot wait until this comes out. I wish it was already out. I may binge listen to the whole book the day it comes out.
I went reading through your archived blog posts to get a feel for the process you went through. It looks like it has been a crazy journey. The beginning of the blog was very much DIY author to now being published with an editor and all that glory that comes with a successful book. Crazy. I can appreciate the effort you put in with even trying to create your own cover art before it got handed over to the publisher. Wow… I see in the book 2 cover it has a ship that is very much inline with your original HEAVEN-1 design. Did you provide input into the design? Must be satisfying to see that design making it into the cover art after all 🙂
I really liked the first book and I’m looking forward to the sequel. Thanks for putting so much research and thought into this series. Porter makes your books really pop!
Why does it have to be released in April! This has to be my favorite Sci-fi book that I have read in a long time. I cant wait for the next book and the one after. I really enjoy the world building and character development of all the different Bobs. I love space exploration books like my previous favorite series “Old mans war by John Scalzi”. Anyways I’m super pumped about the next book.
Listening to the audiobook of We Are Legion was basically the most perfect experience I’ve ever had in science fiction literature. My compliments to you and Mr. Porter, and I’m looking forward to the sequel.
I’m curious why the publishers need 3.5 months to format the Kindle pdf and/or proof-listen the audiobook, however. It seems like an excessive gap of time.
Agreed, can’t wait for April. Passed the suggestion of the first book on to my gaming group, they loved it too. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the most excellent read.
Fellow software developer that was memorized by your book. Wife and I were listening to the audiobook for some traveling and she wasn’t able to continue, so I ended up buying the paper copy to finish (then pushed her to finish listening any chance I could until she finished). Not only were we entertained, we have had many discussions from religion to evolution when we talk about your book. I have recommended and lent out my book to anyone I know that is interested in technology, sci-fi, evolution, etc… Can’t wait for the next one. We’ve already preordered it on audible.
Thanks for the stories, wonder, entertainment, and fun!
Stumbled across “We are Bob” on Audible, I like that title better, and bought it just because of the title and I was board. My brother and I have this thing with the name Bob. It was surprisingly amazing!!! By far the best SF I have read/listened to in a long time. Even the award winning SF has not really caught my fancy for the past few years. But! That book got me hooked from the beginning and immediately pre-ordered your second book! Never done that before. Thank you for the fresh SF and love your sense of humor.
lol pretty much the same with me, My best mate an I have been using bob so long we cant remember where it came from and the Title of the book instantly drew my attention. Hell of a bonus that’s its the best book i have read/listened to in the last 10 years. Though i am pissed at myself for some reason i thought For We Are Many came out this month so listen to the first book again only to realize i have over a month more to wait 🙁
It was originally scheduled to come out this month, but one month delay. As a project manager I understand how the delays occur far too often, still it will be a nice to finally hear the results!
I am halfway through We are Legion and I am loving it! I am very excited to know a sequel will be out shortly, though I will be done with this audio book less shortly! After Game of Thrones was delayed till July I was bummed, but I now have a new reason to look forward to April,thanks for the great work Dennis!
I started listening to book 1 and convinced my fiance that he needed to get in on the Bob action. Now – fast-forward two months – we are planning a road trip, with the intent that we will listen to book 2 together. Thank you for such an original story – and your narrator; he is just so BOB!
Great story! I loved it from beginning to end! I’m so enthralled with all the bobs! (Im)patiently waiting for book 3! Can not freaking wait! Thanks Dennis for one of the best stories I’ve heard in a long time. And great pick for the reader as well, Ray Porter does an amazing job!

Awesome! Added it to my wish list! … and is that a death star I see in the cover art? Perhaps a Borg sphere? Man the anticipation is killing me.
Sweet!
Placed my pre-order with Audible:
“This title is scheduled to be released on April 18 2017”
Order placed with Audible. Cannot wait!!!

Barely even thought about it before I had already preordered it, I can’t wait!

Don’t make a movie deal! they would destroy it!!

Wow, I seriously can’t wait for this book! There is so much things the Bob’s have access to!
Spoilers…..
Alien tech, Colonel Buttersworth military experience, all the human scientist that can help with some of Bob’s mountains of things on his ToDo list!

Done and done. Thank you, Sir. 🙂

Excellent book. One of the best things I’ve listened to for a while (I get through about 3 audiobooks a month). Please keep them coming!
Will there be a paperback version? I listen on Audible but hubby loved the first book and he doesn’t kindle or audible. He’s old school.
Author
There will be a paperback version of all. The paperback might take a day or three extra to get online.
Awesome! pre-ordered. Seeing how book 2 was delayed a month, does that mean your shooting for July for book 3 now?
Author
Hmm, not necessarily so. It was xmas holidays that slowed #2 down.
Agreed, can’t wait for April. Passed the suggestion of the first book on to my gaming group, they loved it too. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the most excellent read.
Pre-ordered the day I saw this available. Absolutely cannot wait!

I can’t wait to be able to pre-order book 3.

The Amazon and Audible agreements are exclusive, so the bobiverse books won’t be released on other platforms.
Great story! I loved it from beginning to end! I’m so enthralled with all the bobs! (Im)patiently waiting for book 3! Can not freaking wait! Thanks Dennis for one of the best stories I’ve heard in a long time. And great pick for the reader as well, Ray Porter does an amazing job!
