Nach dem Krieg gegen die Sternenflotte ist im Bobiverse nichts mehr wie es einmal war: auf mehreren Planeten hat sich eine Anti-Bob-Bewegung gegründet, eine KI bedroht den brüchigen Frieden und mehrere Bobs wollen ihren Job an den Nagel hängen. Doch all das ist harmlos im Vergleich zu der Entdeckung, die Dädalus und Ikarus auf ihrer Reise zum Zentrum der Galaxie machen. Eine Entdeckung, die das Fermi-Paradoxon lösen könnte, doch gleichzeitig könnte sie auch das Ende des Bobiverse bedeuten.

When I moved to Oregon, it was for two reasons: a new job at a veterinary clinic and to be closer to my sister. In desperate need of somewhere to live, I moved in with Miles Granger.
