Histoire
After the Renegade mission by the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman, the UN Expeditionary Force thought Earth was safe for hundreds of years, at least. After there was trouble on the home front and the president had to authorize a nuclear strike on an American city, UNEF decided they did need the Merry Band of Pirates again. So, the Flying Dutchman is sent out on a simple recon mission. But for the pirates, nothing is ever simple, and their mission will become Armageddon.

United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise, and he's going to keep it: taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.

Standing between them and their objective are a maze of corrupt Republic officials, a spy on the verge of losing himself in deep cover, and the Zhee - a murderous species that will stop at nothing.

Description
After saving the world many times, the Merry Band of Pirates have accepted the inevitable: Earth is doomed.
All they can do is try to bring a few thousand people to safety, before vicious aliens arrive to destroy humanity's home world.
No.
There is one other thing they can do: hit the enemy so hard that the aliens will regret they ever heard of humans.

Time to write a review, eh?
Story follows the same formula Craig's been using for all his book, eh? Craig uses the same jokes we've been hearing since the beginning, eh? I heard a ton of hype surrounding this book for the /r/exfor subreddit, eh? so I decided to pick it up and see what all the hype was about, eh? Sorry, I'm Canadian and this is how Craig decided to write out the only Canadian character. Seems like kind if a nitpicky thing to be annoyed with, but it is such an awkward stereotype for him to shoehorn into dialogue as many times as he does. Story: If you liked the other installments of this series you're going to still like this one, because it's following the same exact formula as every other books in the series. MBoP has an "impossible" task and everyone is depressed about it. They have to run some sort of errand before tackling the main plot. Then Joe comes up with some brilliant idea and saves the day. Skippy makes a monkey joke, called someone a dumb-dumb, and proclaims how much he hates his life. Then Craig throws a cliffhanger into the end so he can still sell his next book. Unfortunately, I dont think I'll be getting the next one since I already feel ridiculous for buying essentially the same book 8 times already. Performance: Bray is still an amazing performer and his acting alone has been carrying the story for me. The characters all have unique voices and he does a very good job at making them feel like real people with real emotions. Overall: Enjoyed the series early on, won't be continuing support Craig. People give George R.R. Martin a bad wrap for never finishing his main story; but I think pumping out the same book over and over a rapid pace should be just as appalling and Craig should take longer periods between books and deviate from the formula.

Ending Disappointing
Great series. Great book. Lousy ending. I hate it when authors use cliffhangers to get people to build interest in the next book in a series. This one is particularly upsetting cause it leaves a major conflict and plot point up in the air. I love this series but this was so unworthy of the author. I will continue with the series but if the cliffhangers continue it will be my last.

Five stars but screw you Mr Craig
Hmmm where oh where shall I start. Well im now 100% positive skippy is Craigs alter ego, yup thats right!!! Besides Craig being a jackass with a cliff hanger ending like that, well more like a Grand Canyon cliff hanger, this addition to the series is top notch, great plot progression blah blah haha. The only thing that stopped me from becoming one of those social media trolls was the blooper real past the ending, lucky RC Bray saved ur ass Craig lol. All joking aside this is an amazing addition to the series, if I could rate it 6 stars I would then I would promptly rate it back to 5 stars with that cliff hand ending. Well played Craig.....

Worst book of the series.
Really disappointed on multiple levels. Adds literally nothing new to the series aside from “big reveals” about Skippy’s past near the very end of the book. Another cheesy cliffhanger ending too, which is becoming a trend. Also, why does Frey now punctuate every sentence with “eh”? Traumatic brain injury sustained between conclusion of the last book and this turd?

Where did it all go wrong
I've really enjoyed this series but this feels like a drunk voicemail someone leaves their ex while they slowly devolve into a incoherent mess. ----Alert SPOILERs---- Firstly - The biggest cliff hanger ever. WHY, if your readers are 9 books in you don't need to pull that **** to get them to invest in the next book in the series. It makes for a poor ending and messes with the tempo of the next in the series as it will likely start with the deaths of some important characters in the first chapter. Secondly - What is happening to Joe? Did skippy develop a time machine to turn him into a 10 year old! EVERY female in this book acts like his mother scolding him and he just looks at the flooring blushing while scuffing his shoes. I was under the impressing he was the commander but he has the confidence of a field mouse and why did you turn all the female characters into angry third grade teachers. Joe is the main character, but it would have been best to just put him out of his misery. You have killed his character. He no longer has any redeeming factors. Either have him grow as a character or have other characters acknowledge him for what hes done. This books acts like its his first day on the job and everyone at best tolerates his existence while everyone as well as himself blames him for earth being in danger. Really, everyone blames Joe. Thirdly -He turns into a blubbering mess at the mention of Adams but never does anything about his feeling because of Army Policy. Really!!? He goes from screw UNIF in one chapter to what will they think of me having feelings for a subordinate. Hes confident he will be jailed at least or possibly executed upon return but is worried about regulations regarding relationships. Sounds reasonable. Fourth - Adams. She went from being confident to turning into a teenage girl. Skippy assured her is nothing changed due to her recovery. So what happened? Time machine strikes again. She meet someone she used to have a relationship with years ago and immediately embraces him in front of everyone. Completely out of character for someone who does not show public affection. That's more than she and Joe have done in the entire series but they love each other, sure. Either have them get together or drop it, the Rachel and Ross story is pass its expiration date. Fifth - I could have skipped this entire book besides the last 20 minutes and missed nothing. Oh no, how will we rescue these people from the lizards. Really, you have been hunting down the top species but are now worried about a couple lizards. That does not make any sense. They go from top dogs in one chapter to toddlers with water pistols in the next. This book should be titled "Regression" as both this MBOP abilities have regressed, as well as the characters personalities. I wish i could forget this book and imagine my own version of book 9.

A chore to read. A disappointment and repetitive.
My first review was removed. I'm not sure why? It was ranked the number 1 review of the book as most helpful.... I'm pretty upset. I'm not going to lie. I download and binge the books as they are released. Pulling all nighters... I've been patient. I've been calm. I've defended the series from justified criticism... but I'm so disappointed with this book. Half the book was nothing but filler that didn't need to be there. The first half of the book had me fist pumping the air. The second half made me tired, annoyed, upset, and honestly it was a chore to finish the book. I've never felt so bored and annoyed by an author's choice to create a problem that doesn't need to exist, ONLY TO THEN SHOEHORN the advertised revealing of everything. It felt unnatural. And it was as if he simply got tired of writing the filler and just wedged in the reveals. It made me mad that the MBOP also never seem to actually show appreciation of Skippy. They are jerks to him. Yes he's a jerk at times, but look at some of the statements towards him.... I cannot recall a genuine thank you or anything. It's unnatural and a poor attempt at foreshadowing. The ending.. I'm glad we know, but I'm certifiably mad that Craig decided to waste the second half of the book on some mission that did not need to be in the book at all. There's literally no reason for that problem to exist. I'm so tired of the filler dragging the books out. Honestly, I'm seriously debating giving up on my second favorite book series. I'm a diehard fan and have read each book at minimum 4 times each. The cliffhanger wasn't clever or exciting, it was annoying. We deserved better after waiting so long for answers. I'm genuinely disappointed that after everything, our heros have yet again waste their time, nothing matters, no one respects Joe for some darn reason, and he still might not get the girl. It's been 9 books, do your thing or get off the pot with the relationships. The repetitiveness of the story arches and the repetitiveness of the books plot points is unnecessary and filler. We get it, the earth is doomed. Okay. You told us that 7 times in the last 20 pages. We.get.it.

You stupid monkeys! Why would anyone read a review for book 9
It’s book freeking 9. If you ate 8 bananas from a bunch would you think the 9th banana would be so different that you would have to consult other monkeys on the tasty deliciousness of their 9th banana. Nnoooooo stupid monkeys love bananas and when they have loved their previous 8 bananas form this bunch, said stupid monkey should already know that they will love their 9th banana. Or similarly they will love the continuing adventures of the worlds most magnificent and awesome elder AI Skippy the Magnificent and his stupid side kick Joe “stupid smelly monkey” Bishop on their newly assembled BATTLECRUISER Valkyrie

I was huge fan of this book series. But it feels like I'm reading the same book over and over again. I have relationship fatigue. Sick of hearing the unnatural Way the relationships all exist. This series should have ended three books ago. I think Skippy says it best when he sums up everything blah blah blah

Feel sorry for RC Bray having to read this
Loved the first book. Sadly the quality have declined steadily as the series have progressed. Seems the author has run out of fresh ideas and is just rehashing old material without being able to develop the plot further. As the story gets more and more confusing, it ends in a cliffhanger. A waste of time and a waste of money. It is obvious that Alanson has decided to milk this series for all it is worth by publishing books faster and faster at the expense of ever declining quality.

Terrible book
You keep hoping the story is going to progress it doesn’t. The narrator is awesome. If it wasn’t for him I would not even bother with the story.

I made it this far, but I can't take any more.
First review ever because enough is enough. I'm done. I've been waiting for the plot to advance. And it did to an extent as they went on the offensive and the dynamic of the Universe totally changed. I really enjoyed it. But then do something incredibly dumb based on Bishop's jealousy over an Adams non-issue (For the love of God retire the "I can't date Adams because the Army would be mad at me." trope. It's not even casual mentions this time either, Bishop vomits on and on about it and even the other characters are tired of it. Like Bishop hasn't commited Mutiny before? More insultingly, Bishop casually dismisses Army regulations in a single sentence later in the book (Chinese General). Furthermore, Bishop has not developed as character. He's been in command for years, but still struggles to act like an adult, both in terms of maturity and intelligence (he's almost proud of his ignorance). When people tell him obvious truths his feelings get easily hurt, and then he mopes. Skippy has to lock Mario Kart until he finishes his readings. He thinks "fortuitous" is a fancy word. The list goes on and on. Would Piccard or say Jack Ryan act like this? And then the plot goes to die. An entire section of the book should have been cut. It killed the plot momentum for a mission that made no sense. What made me the most mad about the situation is that it heavily referenced book 3.5 about the Mavericks; I didn't listen to that one as these books don't work without Skippy/Bishop dialogs. Same thing he did in book 8 with Daytona (book 7.5). I was confused about my first read of book 8 that reference Daytona. So I tried to listen to Daytona, but I couldn't finish. Just terrible. Upside however: I learned how to exchnage Audible books. These plot references feel cheap and simple quick cash grabs. I'm disappointed in the author. He has plenty of plot ideas to work with and we've proven we'll pay for strong content. New and usual faults aside, the cliffhanger at the end is intriguing. But it's a development that didn't require 11 books to introduce. Narration was great, but I'm still done with the series.

Wait for book 10 before you bother reading this on
I like these books because of the humor and complex problems, but I agree with the other reviewers that have noted that all the books follow exactly the same pattern: the team gets a mission, Skippy figures out they are screwed, and Joe comes up with a solution because he eats a bagel. I can live with the standard story line because the writing has been pretty good and RC Bray is awesome. However, this book sucked. To start with, Joe blaming himself for everything drives me nuts. "It's all my fault Gunny." "It sure you is you moron, so suck it up.... sir" Now write that about 500 times and you have this book nailed for the most part. If Joe were real, no one would follow him to the toilet, much less into space. The teams stupid devotion to military rules that are completely meaningless does not help either. For example, Simms gives Joe crap because someone needs to sign for equipment list by someone that died in the previous book. Seriously? Humanity is doomed, and these so called heroes are worried about who is going to pay for a list utility belt? Plain stupid, IMHO. This book was more than painful to listen to.... It just made me mad. First, Joe's relationship with Adams is painful. The human species is in danger of being extinct... just tell her you love her Joe. Second, the story made no sense... If you just listen to the first and last chapters, you see what I mean... They are not connected at all. And the cliffhanger was just lazy and infuriating. In the last 7 minutes if the book, Skippy completely changes, calls Joe "human" and the book ends with him betraying the whole human species because they are too lonely for his newfound sense if Godlike authority. I will give the author this: I was surprised. But not in a good way. I actually might punch him if he were here right now. I am sure I will feel different tomorrow, but I am pissed right now. Don't bother buying this book unless you are a masochist and like to be beat to hell. At this point, I don't care how the story ends and will not buy anything else Craig writes. He is on my permanent "never again" list. And if you think this review is harsh, thrn buy the book and listen to it. Then read this review again. You will see what I mean.

Don't stop now!
I have experienced all nine books and all I can say is please don't stop now even if you have to make up something... hehe. This author and narrator combination make these books very fun to hear. If you wrote 90 books I would listen to them all!
