Summary
The highly anticipated sequel to Audible's Best of 2016 - Science Fiction winner, We Are Legion (We Are Bob); a book listeners are calling "so much fun", "what science fiction was meant to be", and what would happen if "Andy Weir and Ernest Cline had a lovechild".
Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe.
Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece. A system-wide war has killed off 99.9 percent of the human race; nuclear winter is slowly making the Earth uninhabitable; a radical group wants to finish the job on the remnants of humanity; the Brazilian space probes are still out there, still trying to blow up the competition; and the Bobs have discovered a spacefaring species that sees all other life as food.
Bob left Earth anticipating a life of exploration and blissful solitude. Instead he's become a sky god to a primitive native species, the only hope for getting humanity to a new home, and possibly the only thing that can prevent every living thing in the local sphere from ending up as dinner.
Listener favorite Ray Porter returns to narrate Bob - and his many incarnations - in all of their geeky glory.
For We Are Many is the second installment in the blockbuster Audible Original Bobiverse series - which has sold more than one million copies.

Absolutely enthralling!
A highly competent and entertaining follow on to We Are Bob. Bob has expanded his cadre and further sentient life is found. Is it friendly or not? You'll need to read for yourself to find out. The humour carries on from the first book, despite some of the topics being up there at extinction level! Quite a feat to carry off. And if you know your comedy programmes you'll laugh at the multitude of references.
The narration was excellent again. The story is gaining momentum and there's definitely a sensation of rooting for team Bob. There's lot of metalwork being harvested here and flung around in the form of drones and new ships.
The conclusion to this book sets up a great opportunity for the next book to excel. I do hope, despite the first two books being excellent, there's no desire to milk this to a series of unending books, hopefully it'll keep tight and rich and give us more of what we've enjoyed to date.

Cannot stop listening!
Second book continues at breakneck speed with the many Bobs and their many issues. The humour and ‘good’ humanity still come through. I’ve immediately downloaded the third book to start listening and have described the stories to my family so much that they are now hooked as well. Still loving it

Exceptional, interesting and funny for nerds.
An amazing story with dozens of well integrated sci-fi references and a galaxy spanning nerd called Bob.

A KEEPER!
Would you listen to For We Are Many again? Why?
I loved this audiobook. Having read the previous book in the series I got this on the day of release and 'couldn't put it down'. It ended all too soon and I'm giving myself a week or two before I read it again, just for the anticipation!
What was one of the most memorable moments of For We Are Many?
It's hard to say, though Bob's relationship with the Deltans is one but there are so many funny moments, both comic and wry.
What does Ray Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
He brings a humour, intelligence and credibility to the characters.
