Heavenly River

Nomination for the «Prometheus» award.

In Bob's Universe, a civil war is raging.
Over a hundred years ago, Bender set off to the distant stars and disappeared without a trace. Now Bob, ignoring the difficulties, is organizing an expedition to find out... Bender's fate.
But in Bob's Universe, problems never have easy solutions. Twenty generations of clones have emerged, and as a result of the so-called replicative drift, they have become quite different from the original prototype. Some support Bob's plan, others openly oppose it, while some are developing their own strategies. A crisis is inevitable.
Not losing hope, Bob and his allies are on Bender's trail. However, instead of a companion, they discover something in the deep cosmos that could either save the Universe or create a deadly threat to all living beings (and beyond) that Bob's Universe has never encountered before.


«A novel with multiple storylines, magnificent world-building, even more developed characters compared to previous books in the series, an ironic take on our present, and obvious but important concepts that no one thinks about until reminded». — Stuffedpuffin

«The novel captures everything I saw in the first books and adds much new that I did not expect. A good narrative, great storytelling, and humorous characters finding themselves in a variety of situations make this book a must-read». — SFFworld
