The second installment in Dennis E. Taylor’s imaginative sci-fi saga follows an AI-powered
interstellar explorer as he confronts alien threats chaotic post-apocalyptic hurdles and the
ultimate challenge of saving humanity. Waking up after death wasn’t on Bob Johansson’s bucket
list. But here he is four decades later inhabiting the mind of a sentient computer and
piloting a self-replicating space probe. It was supposed to be a dream gig—explore the cosmos
find new worlds repeat. Instead everything has gone spectacularly off-script. Humanity is
hanging by a thread after a devastating war wiped out 99.9 percent of the human race. The
planet is spiraling into nuclear darkness extremist groups are fighting over what scraps of
civilization remain and rogue Brazilian probes are doing their best to annihilate everything
in their path. And the Bobs have encountered a terrifying alien species with one very
straightforward view of other life forms: food. Bob never signed up to be a hero and he
certainly didn’t expect to play God to a fledgling alien civilization. Now he faces the
ultimate question: Can a scattered army of digital copies outnumbered and outgunned outsmart
extinction itself? Packed with snarky humor jaw-dropping discoveries and a heaping dose of
heart For We Are Many continues the wildly inventive saga that redefines what it means to be
human...or at least post-human. The stakes are immense but with Bob on the job survival might
just depend on thinking way outside the box.
