Herschel and Neil, who are something like 16th-generation Bobs, constantly refer to themselves as “pond scum,” usually in the context of lamenting their lot in life.
The Bobs in general are fine with being clones of the original, but the further removed they are from the original Bob, the more concerned they are about their standing in the Bobiverse hierarchy. One of the Bobs, Marcus, annoys his human allies with his mid-battle commentary as they defend a city on Poseidon. The Ark: The Bellerophon, a derelict Others cargo vessel with some asteroid mover plates slapped onto it and enough space to hold Earth's remaining 14 million humans and change.Two new Bob clones, Daedalus and Icarus, guide these planetoids to collide at light speed in the middle of GL-877's star, sparking an accelerated fusion process and causing the star to go nova. Bill uses his asteroid movers to fling Epsilon Eridani I and one of Epsilon Eridani III's moons at the GL-877 system. Androids Are People, Too: Legal status notwithstanding, the Bobs are treated by their descendants as a valuable part of the family and as minor celebrities or valued co-workers by everyone else.Political unrest, distrust between the Bobs and the “ephemeral” humans, and an unknown quantity of Medeiros probes still threaten to destroy fragile peace on humanity's colony worlds. Vastly outnumbered and outgunned, the Bobs must rally to take a last stand at Earth, but the Others aren't their only problem. After the Battle of Delta Pavoris, the Others have finally recognized the Bobs (and by extension, humanity) as a threat – and now, Earth is on the top of their “To Consume” list. The Bobs have successfully established human colonies on multiple worlds, but the threat to humanity isn't over yet.
Taylor, published in 2017, is the third book in the Bobiverse series (preceded by We Are Legion (We Are Bob) and For We Are Many and followed by Heaven's River).
