The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad.”—Goodreads

“We are legion” isn’t a good reference for your group of good guys. Writing was okay, but first person in this case was tiring. Made the book flat and low on action. If we are going to go as nerd-reference heavy as this book was, then I’d describe this book as mostly harmless.
