![]() Yet salvation may come from an unlikely source. But the Bobs are less disciplined than a herd of cats, and some of the younger copies are more concerned with their own local problems than defeating the Others. Still stinging from getting their collective butts kicked in their first encounter with the Others, the Bobs now face the prospect of a decisive final battle to defend Earth and its colonies. And the Bobs have picked a fight with an older, more powerful species with a large appetite and a short temper. But political squabbles have a bad habit of dying hard, and the Brazilian probes are still trying to take out the competition. They've created enough colonies so humanity shouldn't go extinct. But after spreading out through space for almost a century, Bob and his clones just can't stay out of trouble.
