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.

Ray Porter IS Bob!

This is another smashing performance for Ray Porter as our favourite Von Neumann probe, Bob.
This addition to the bobiverse answers some questions but also asks a bunch more. I couldn't stop listening and if you love the bobiverse I'm sure you'll love this too.

Oh man, this was good! I waited for this book so long and I wasn't disappointed. The bobiverse is maturing. Looking forward to the continuation of the story.

Slow start, fantastic book.

If you have read and enjoyed any other of Ray's works, this is a must... 'read'.
Although it starts slow, I attribute this to building up for the start of another major adventure, the book clearly leaving space for at least two more to follow.
Once the speed picks up, it's a great ride, and well worth the price of admission.

Loved it

Couldn't stop listening.

An entertaining story arc that was filled with all the nerdy, technical details we love. And the performance was amazing, Ray Porter nailed it.

Just fantastic.

Everything about this series is amazing. and coupled with Ray Porters narration style I really felt not only that I was realating too, but a part of me was Bob, or Bob was me. So glad this was recommended to me.

Good but slow

I enjoyed this book less than the last. It drifted away from the exciting story of bob expanding out into the universe and facing all new challenges. Instead it was just one main story that consisted of a whole lot of running and swimming around. The ending seemed to make up for it so looking hopefully to the next
