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.

A simple pleasure.
Dennis E. Taylor did a good job with this second book in the series. You do need to read the first one to make sense out of the events and engage with the main characters.
While "We are Legion" was an easy and perfect listen for those who are new to the science fiction theme, in this book the author expands the universe and its quirks.
The logic of the science fiction needs you to suspend disbelief every now and then, but the idea of the world in the hands of artificial intelligence is refreshing, and the whole yarn is told in in a joyful way which will keep you interested till the last pages.
Once again, characters are full of personality, colour and they shine with humour. You really do have to love Bob. He makes your ribs tickle. I only have one niggle, at times it is hard to keep track of all the Bobs and therefore I think this book might an easier read than listen...
Ray Porter's narration is steady. He wonderfully delivers on many voices and I hope to come across more of his work.

The most enjoyable books I have read in ages!
Would you consider the audio edition of For We Are Many to be better than the print version?
Yes. The narrator was perfect for the book, Ray Porter has made a spectacular job.What matters to me most with readings is clear enunciation, correct pronunciation and the if I like the sound of the voice. Ray went beyond a good reading and, like an experienced actor, he enhanced the script with his performance and gave life to the book.

Difficult second album…
Following up from We Are Legion must’ve been a hellishly difficult task, but I think this is a brilliant audiobook. Clearly having a cast almost entirely based on a rapidly expanding fleet of clones has inherent difficulties for the reader (listener) but I thinks it handled very well indeed.
I’m very much looking forward to books 3 & 4!

These are brilliant books!
These books just keep getting better. The protagonist Bob and his replicants are well developed and quite funny. The narration and differentiation between characters is quite well done. A really well thought out sci-fi.

Exciting and engaging
This second book continues directly from the first in a very satisfying progression. The author is careful not to rush things too much, but he does not delay, sometimes progressing by months or years in a few sentences! The story feels as though it is on the verge of a very interesting conclusion. I'm looking forward to it

The second is better than the first.
Overall it is a great book, Although it is a cliff hanger on the main story.
