For We Are Many

ALIEN THREATS! CHAOTIC POST-APOCALYPTIC HURDLES! SAVING HUMANITY? ALL JUST PART OF DENNIS E. TAYLOR’S FOR WE ARE MANY, BOOK TWO IN THE BOBIVERSE.

Bob Johansson never signed up to be a hero, and he certainly didn’t expect to play god to a fledgling alien civilisation. Now, he faces the ultimate question: Can a scattered army of digital copies, outnumbered and outgunned, outsmart extinction itself?

Hopefully, the answer is yes. So, here he is, inhabiting the mind of a sentient computer and piloting a self-replicating space probe. It was supposed to be a dream gig – explore the cosmos, find new worlds, repeat.

Instead, everything has gone spectacularly off-script. Humanity is hanging by a thread after a devastating war wiped out 99.9 percent of the human race. The planet is spiraling into nuclear darkness, extremist groups are fighting over what scraps of civilisation remain and rogue Brazilian probes are doing their best to annihilate everything in their path. And the Bobs have encountered a terrifying alien species with one very straightforward view of other life forms: food.

Packed with snarky humour, jaw-dropping discoveries and a heaping dose of heart, For We Are Many continues the wildly inventive saga that redefines what it means to be human . . . or, at least, post-human. The stakes are immense, but with Bob on the job, survival might just depend on thinking way outside the box.
