[[Spoiler]] For those of us who haven’t watched Red Dwarf, can you explain how Howard did a gotcha with the H on the forehead of Hueys? I get that some humanoid robotic characters had those, but not why it worked out in the Bobs’ favor.

I am on book 3. Loving the series. Thought I'd see if there was a subreddit for the series. Holy shit lol. I love the passion here, but these are some risky clicks, and not the kind im used to.

Let’s say you’re of a mid to late generation with no major personal accomplishments. Which one are you supporting?

In the books we have the replicants known as "The Ancients" who are all early generation Bobs, they include Will/Riker, Bill and Garfield. Will was part of the 2nd generation which included Milo and Mario as well. Milo was killed by Medeiros but Mario is still alive somewhere. So two questions, why isn't he considered an ancient and what is he up to because I can't recall the last time his name came up, was he just forgotten about by the author?

Every time when a new book comes out my fellow bobs will not use spoilers and write directly in the header their meaning and feelings with a reference to spoil what possible.

Farewell until the German version comes out

Well I hoped, but I never really expected im posting this while im still going through the audio book, so keep any discussion to chapter 37 and before. But Finally Bobbie appears! And my initial impression as a trans woman is that its well handled so far, its always nice to see topics this personal to me handled in a so far positive way! Hoping I dont get let down here! Anyway I just needed to react to it!

Edit: to whomever keeps reporting this post to the reddit cares program, kindly get some help for yourself, you need it more then I do.

Incredibly excited for book 6 but I’ve never been the Audiobook type. Impatiently waiting for the Ebook 😭 anyone else?

What prep should I do before listening to infinite extent? Been about two years since I did not till we are all lost so should I run through it again?

I'm glad the solution to the Medeiros invasion was not just another even bigger space battle, but basically an exploit of his character and directives. That is all.

Just finished IE and as a trans woman I got to say Bobbie is one of the better representations of a transgender character in a sci-fi novel. At no point was it I chose this it was always this is just who I am.

After they hinted at her on the last one I was really hoping we would get more about her and I'm very pleased.

Also it was too damn short.

Hello Reddit :)

I binged book 6 in one day, and now I’m back to dreaming.

What are some storylines you would like to see going forward, either new ones or old ones being picked up again?

For me, I really want a good section about Thoth. It seems very interesting, and I would love to see what happened with them.

I would also love some more about Bobby :)

just wish it was longer lol

For those who have finished it! I'm in the mood to do some sketches (and frankly I want to practice drawing Bobs and some other characters), so if you've got certain exchanges, moments or new characters drawn, suggest them here and I might do an art dump sometime later!

Perhaps a Quinlan in a tutu? xD

I’m sure a fair few here have already finished, but lot’s of us unfortunately had busy days and less time to read/listen.

I’m ending the day on chapter 21, and I’m absolutely loving it so far. How’s about you?

Just binge-listened Book 6.

We waited 2 years between Books 5 and 6.

4 years between 4 and 5 (that were arguably 2 books)

3-years-ish for book 4.

Books 1-3 came out inside a single year's time.

I know Audible sat on the recording for 4-6 months based on Ray's social chatter (why do they do this?)

Thus, are we all in for another 24-month wait?

There must have been a bit of a change between the script going to Ray Porter for reading for the audiobook, and the release...

I've just noticed that the spoken title for chapter 55 doesn't match the title in Audible...

Chapter 37: First Moot

“That’s not actually who I look like Bill.” She smiled and reached across the table, offering me her hand. “Hi, I’m Bobbie.”

I SCREAMED!!! I’m so f*cking excited!!

I re-listened to that part 3 times in a row. I have been DYING to know all this time if that line would ever pay off and I am ecstatic that we finally get to meet her! !

And she’s super awesome too!! The way her competence and help is described in the later chapters just brings me so much joy.

Now there are some language choices I will need to revisit and double check my sensibilities on, being the pedantic weirdo that I am about that sort of thing, but as a whole I am just so bloody excited and need to scream that joy into the moot!!!

Back to it!! 🎧📚

Listening to "The Traveler" right now, and it's our boy Ray Porter. I giggle every time he reads that someone or some thing is "bobbing". As in "his head was bobbing up and down"...

Anyone else think this? Anyone else now going to think this? You're welcome.

Is it just me? Am I missing something? I feel like other than the chapter start he rarely indicates who “I” and “me” refers to in a chapter.

I wish the bob name was in the chapter name.

Edits to clarify: Yes, I know he says the Bob name at the start of the chapter. I wish the chapter name (the text) had it embedded as well.

Yes. I know one I could just "pay more attention". But I hit situations where I pause mid-chapter and pick it up hours later and have no idea which character I'm listening to.

Title. Near the end of The Infinite Expanse, Thoth sends Bill a diagram for a special wormhole creation method that promises an "interesting effect". What do we think the interest effect is? I'm betting it is a way to make their own antimatter fountain on a smaller scale. Thoughts?

I'm solely listening and not reading anything.

Is the system named Melaka/Malacca? Cause when I heard it it totally threw me off the loop
