Another very fast read. Once more it's a fast-paced story, with very short chapters and the action jumping frequently from subplot to subplot as we keep up with all that's going on in the Bobiverse. Like book 2, this is a continuation of the open plot lines, and it closes them in a satisfactory manner. There are plenty of stories that could still be told in this setting, but this feels like a satisfactory conclusion.

The trilogy is really a long single novel arbitrarily divided in three parts, and although not a literary masterpiece it has been a great science-fictional ride. ( )

This is the conclusion to many of the storylines from the first two books. The quality of writing continues and has grown to an almost literal full universe created by Taylor. While there are many different threads that have been talked about the four main Bobs are the main focus. The conclusion of the Eden/Archimedes storyline is a good capping and bitter sweet that shows the main Bob has come a good long ways from human Bob in Vegas. Although ironically, this Bob seems the most out of the overarching storyline. The Others War is where the main thrust of the book and it's all the space shooting and thinking that you want from this opera. The quest to save humanity and now the colonies are also set up and concluded well. I have to say that the love story with "Howard" Bob and Bridget is one that doesn't quite work or at least left a lot on the table. If Howard had discussed more about what the changes to Bridget would be and how he had solved the problems from his early days that would have added more to the story.

Overall; the action, science fiction, space exploration, good logic, and of course the humor continue to be a stable story telling element and Taylor writes them well. The conclusion was also a nice end with the Bobs that sets out the next storyline but also adds tension but with some cool headed logic that should be expected from "The Bobs". Final Grade - A ( )

I don't have that much to add to my previous reviews as this trilogy should probably be regarded as a single book. However, in this last part it felt like Taylor had performed all the tricks there were to perform in the previous parts and nothing new happened. While I previously commented that I found the dullness of galaxy-management actually exiting, in this book there was no new intellectual challenge, no new things to wonder about. The main point of this book was to end the series, but because there were só many ends to tie up, most of them, including the big "others"-climax were actually pretty boring and anti-climactic.
While this book was a fine, clean ending to the series, it did not live up to its predecessors. ( )

Another thrilling instalment in the Bobiverse. Same high quality as before.
Excellent narration complements the quality of the book.
Really 4.5. ( )

I enjoyed this book and the entire series so much. I plan on reading them again. The audiobook version narrated by Ray Porter is awesome! I don't re-read many books but this series is on the list to read again. ( )
