“Bob Johansson didn't believe in an afterlife, so waking up after being killed in a car accident was a shock. To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from the Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece. A system-wide war has killed off 99.9% of the human race, nuclear winter is slowly making the Earth uninhabitable, a radical group wants to finish the job on the remnants of humanity, the Brazilian space probes are still out there, still trying to blow up the competition, and the Bobs have discovered a spacefaring species that sees all other life as food.”—Publisher's description.

I liked the idea and world building, quick fun read.
Another excellent slice of space opera in this series.
Again, if a geeky nerd narrator is likely to annoy you then this might not be your cup of tea. This second book expands the focus a bit (which is inevitable given the plot engine of this series) but each strand is fully realised and followed through. A new antagonist was required and the one introduced gives an old geek like me a smile.
This is just well executed entertainment and is definitely recommended.
