Heaven's River

By Dennis E. Taylor

The fourth Bobiverse novel follows the far-flung copies of Bob, generations after humanity's exodus from Earth, as one Bob takes up a search, a century old, for Bender, a clone who vanished while exploring deep space and left no trace of reaching his destination. The trail leads to Eta Leporis, where automated hostile patrol craft and the wreckage of Bender's ship point to something far larger: an immense artificial habitat encircling the star, whose inhabitants live under the control of an unknown power. While Bob organizes a covert expedition to investigate, other Bobs pursue their own projects, from Pav resettlement work to helping humans emigrate from an increasingly restrictive colony, and growing ideological rifts among the Bobs complicate the search for their missing kin.
